Scenes from last night's screening of Far From Home: An Afghan Refugee Story with filmmaker
@ankitakumar.bsky.social. It was a beautiful moment to be in community, and hold a discussion afterward about covering refugees in media.❤️

"The fight for representation is about humanity, and it’s about acknowledging that incarcerated humans are not disposable, , writes Greg Eskridge in @sfchronicle.com. "We are part of the public, and we deserve platforms to tell our stories."

Read his story: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

After my release from San Quentin, public radio gave me a lifeline. We should continue to support it

OPINION: “I spent decades fighting for my freedom. I won’t sit back and watch it be stripped away from others, one story, one mic, one voice at a time,” Greg Eskridge writes.
