Something wonderful is coming to Newport — and we'd love for you to be part of it.
On Saturday, May 2nd from 2–3:30 pm, The Learning Center at Channing Memorial Church is co-sponsoring a very special free event at the Newport Art Museum on Bellevue Avenue.
We're hosting a screening of Dance for All People — a beautiful micro-documentary film about Rachel Balaban and DAPpers and their remarkable partnership with medical students from Brown University's Warren Alpert Medical School.
DAPpers believe that dance belongs to everyone — every age, every ability, every body. This film captures that spirit in the most joyful way imaginable.
The afternoon includes the film screening and panel talkback with some audience participation. Come see what happens when movement meets medicine.
Free admission. Open to all. Space is limited; please RSVP at Newport Art Museum.

Statement on the killing of Renee Nicole Good by ICE:

We grieve the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37 year-old mother and legal observer, by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Minneapolis yesterday—an act of state violence that has stolen a life and reverberates through an already-wounded community. This is not an isolated incident, but the result of policies that criminalize immigration and enforce borders through fear, surveillance, and force rather than care.

Side With Love is in solidarity with immigrant communities in Minneapolis and across the country who live under constant threat of detention, separation, and death at the hands of the state. We are in solidarity with the faithful masses of people showing up to build a world where the worth and dignity of all are held as sacred and unshakable truth. As people of faith and conscience, we are called by love to tell the truth about this violence, to accompany those most impacted, and to keep organizing toward fulfilling the promise of our communities and institutions to make safety, belonging, and freedom real for all.

We join many others in demanding accountability and an immediate end to I.C.E. operations in all our communities. We invite all people of faith and conscience to grieve together, to refuse the normalization of state violence, and to commit themselves to the long work of transforming the systems that betray our deepest moral and spiritual commitments.
