I checked out Dan Pasternack's profile page, but saw nothing about a possible theatrical release. (The closest city on the tour is Philadelphia.)
Do you have any 411 on that?

Will there be a theatrical release? The tour doesn't stop anywhere close to where I live. This sounds monster.

I know it's not strictly a measure for Latinas, but wouldn't discussions on the wage issue draw strength from a Democratic effort to raise the minimum wage by at least $10/hr.?
The poorest workers would benefit the most, but it would nudge everyone up as well.
Minimum Wage should be a Living Wage.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.
