SUMMARY:Dallas Screening: Upstairs Inferno
DESCRIPTION:NEW ORLEANS GAY MASS MURDER DOCUMENTARY\, UPSTAIRS INFERNO TO SCREEN IN DALLAS \nFrom award winning director\, Robert L. Camina and Executive Producers behind “Back on Board: Greg Louganis”\, “Kiss Me\, Kill Me”\, “Beautiful Something”\, “Raid of the Rainbow Lounge” and “Southern Baptist Sissies”\, comes UPSTAIRS INFERNO\, a poignant and timely documentary chronicling the deadly 1973 New Orleans gay bar arson: an event that remained the Largest Gay Mass Murder in U.S. History for 43 years. \nCamina Entertainment is honored to announce an encore Dallas Screening of UPSTAIRS INFERNO!  The film will screen on Thursday\, October 20th\, 7:30pm at The Magnolia Theater (3699 McKinney Ave #100\, Dallas\, TX 75204).    Director/writer\, Robert L. Camina will be in attendance and conduct a Q&A after the screening.  UPSTAIRS INFERNO had its Dallas premiere in November 2015.  Since then\, the documentary has gone on to receive critical acclaim and multiple awards.   \nTickets to the Dallas screening are $15 and are available for purchase at http://www.UpstairsInferno.com. \nOFFICIAL TRAILER:  https://vimeo.com/94900386 or http://www.UpstairsInferno.com \nOn June 24\, 1973\, an arsonist set fire to the Up Stairs Lounge\, a gay bar located on the edge of the French Quarter in New Orleans\, Louisiana.  For 43 years\, it was the deadliest single event to affect the gay community in U.S. history.  Despite the staggering historical significance\, few people know about the tragedy. Thirty-two people were killed and some bodies were never identified. One-third of the New Orleans chapter of the Metropolitan Community Church were killed in the blaze\, including two clergy.  The primary suspect was never charged with the crime. The tragedy did not stop at the loss of lives. There were also the delayed injuries: lost jobs\, fear\, public ridicule and severed families. The devastation was compounded by the homophobic reactions and utter lack of concern by the general public\, government and religious leaders. The fire permanently altered lives and was the root of many lifelong struggles.   \nUPSTAIRS INFERNO (96 minutes) is the most comprehensive and authoritative film about the fire and its aftermath. However\, UPSTAIRS INFERNO isn’t simply a stagnant exposition of facts. UPSTAIRS INFERNO brings humanity to the headlines by shining a light on the very painful effect the tragedy had on survivors\, witnesses and loved ones.  Their interviews are gut wrenching\, yet insightful.  Some of the people interviewed in the film haven’t publicly discussed the fire until now\, especially on camera. The film is narrated by New Orleans’ own New York Times Best Selling Author\, CHRISTOPHER RICE. \nAudiences should expect to see a balance between investigative reporting and very intimate profiles of people lost or affected by the tragedy. The victims are more than statistics\, more then names in a newspaper clipping or even names on a plaque.    These were unfinished lives\, tragically cut short by a senseless act.   The victims and their families and friends left to cope with the aftermath deserved better treatment than what they got.   \n“This is a gruesome story\, there is no way around it and in light of this Summer’s mass shooting at Pulse\, the gay nightclub in Florida\, the parallels strike a painful chord”\, acknowledges Director Robert L. Camina.    “Hopefully\, now\, more than ever\, audiences walk away from the film with a renewed call for compassion: Compassion for those unlike us. Compassion for those who are hurting. Compassion for those in need.  Because there definitely wasn’t a lot of compassion when the deadly arson occurred.  In addition\, I hope the film acts as a stark reminder that we need to seize the day.  We need to make sure we tell our loved ones every day that we love them\, because we don’t know what lies ahead.  Life is fickle and unpredictable. Today may be our last chance.” \nUPSTAIRS INFERNO recently received the JURY AWARD: HONORABLE MENTION at Frameline: the San Francisco International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival\, citing its “Special Contribution to Queer History”\, the JURY AWARD: BEST MEN’S DOCUMENTARY FEATURE and AUDIENCE AWARD: BEST MEN’S FEATURE at the North Carolina Gay and Lesbian Film Festival\, the BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE AWARD at the Long Beach QFilm Festival\, the JURY AWARD: BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM at the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival\, the  AUDIENCE AWARD: FAVORITE DOCUMENTARY at the North Louisiana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and the JURY & AUDIENCE AWARDS: BEST DOCUMENTARY at FilmOut San Diego.    \nThis is an incredibly important story in LGBT history and U.S. history.  While we never imagined there’d be another LGBT mass murder in the United States\, we MUST UNITE as a community AND a country and NEVER allow this to happen again.  Especially in the wake of the Orlando tragedy\, we must continue to educate and enlighten people.  “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”  UPSTAIRS INFERNO can open the door to a cathartic and constructive conversation. \nSome of the images in UPSTAIRS INFERNO are graphic in nature and may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. \n——— \nCHRISTOPHER RICE  (narrator) is a New York Times best selling author.  His debut\, “A Density of Souls”\, was an overnight best seller\, and was greeted with a landslide of media attention\, much of it due to the fact that Christopher is the son of legendary vampire chronicler\, Anne Rice.   Much of his writing is heavily influenced by the years he and his Mom lived in New Orleans.  Rice considers New Orleans his “hometown”.   Christopher currently co-hosts his own Internet radio show\, THE DINNER PARTY SHOW\, with fellow New York Times best selling novelist\, Eric Shaw Quinn.  Rice recently published the novel\, “The Vines”\, which is set in the outskirts of New Orleans. Christopher Rice also wrote the adapted screenplay for Anne Rice’s novel\, “The Tale of the Body Thief”\, which was acquired by Universal Pictures in November 2014\, according to Variety Magazine. \nROBERT L. CAMINA (director) wrote\, directed and produced several short films before premiering his first full length documentary\, RAID OF THE RAINBOW LOUNGE (2012) to sold out audiences\, rave reviews and a media frenzy.  RAID OF THE RAINBOW LOUNGE recounts the widely publicized and controversial June 28\, 2009 police raid of a Fort Worth\, Texas gay bar that resulted in multiple arrests and serious injuries. The raid occurred on the 40th Anniversary of the Stonewall Inn raid.  The film\, narrated by TV icon Meredith Baxter\, screened during 33 mainstream and LGBT film festivals across the United States\, Mexico and Canada. The film won several awards including 5 “Best” Film and 3 “Audience Choice” Awards.  The film also received attention from the Office of the White House\, Department of Justice and a division of the U.S. State Department.  At their invitation\, the Library of Congress hosted a screening in September 2014.

SUMMARY:TPI Prison Services Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Come and learn about our Prison Services Committee\, doing work to support and advocate for incarcerated trans persons across Texas.  \nOne object of all our committees is to grow participation and encourage leadership through support\, encouragement\, and community participation! We hope to rotate facilitators to give people experience planning and running meetings\, with help from committee leaders when needed. \nIn Prison Services\, we are currently writing letters and taking on other tasks to support incarcerated trans persons. One task is design an publication of two texts written by incarcerated members on surviving prison in general\, and surviving solitary confinement.  \nWe’ll be teaching the basics about letter writing and coming together to support each other with advice and debriefing (some of the letters and situations can be very heavy and emotionally challenging) so we all help each other do this better. \nPlease post questions or suggestions if you have any! \nGuests are welcome; come out and learn! We really need help with writing letters\, so if you can come help\, please do!

SUMMARY:Prison Letter Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Interested in writing letters to incarcerated trans or gender nonconforming persons\, but need some guidance and encouragement? Want to write but not sure what to say? Or afraid that you might not know how to help someone advocate for their safety or healthcare needs? Or maybe you would rather write while in a social setting\, sharing space with friends and community? Then join us for the Prison Letter Writers Workshop! \nTPI’s Prison Services Committee writes letters to incarcerated trans persons\, but we wanted to provide additional opportunity to support our siblings behind the walls. If you want to learn and try writing someone\, maybe just a one-off letter of support and encouragement without committing to write more\, or see what it is like before committing\, this is a time to do that! \nWe’ll talk a little about our work overall with incarcerated persons and some of the individuals we are connected with. And we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have. \nIf you are interested in writing a letter or just learning about this work\, stop by around 6pm or later (we close about 9pm) and chat with others and consider writing a letter! \nAlso\, we are considering moving this to Saturday. If you would like to participate and a Saturday meeting would be better or worse for you\, let us know whether or not to move the time: nell@tpride.org.

SUMMARY:TPI Trans Survivors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a peer support group that we would like to start\, and right now we are looking for persons who could guide a group discussion such as this. Until we find a facilitator\, TPI holds space during this time specifically to allow persons who have experienced violence to open up about their survival experience with supportive community. \nViolence is defined broadly. It includes not just physical and sexual assaults\, but also verbal abuse\, discrimination\, and harassment. One topic of discussion we will open the floor to this week is the violence of the Texas government in filing anti-trans suits\, and how that affects our daily lives. \nThe purpose is to provide a safe space for trans and gender diverse survivors of violence to talk about their experiences\, how they are coping\, and learn about other resources that may be available to help them cope. \nIf you would be interested in helping start this group\, and especially if you are both a survivor and have experience working with peer survivors\, please feel free to drop by between 6pm and closing to help develop this effort.

SUMMARY:First Ever Texas Black Women's Reproductive Justice Policy Summit
DESCRIPTION:Texas Black women have grown tired of being left out of the conversations being had about their bodies and for that reason The Afiya Center has taken the charge to amplify their voices and spearhead the First Ever Texas Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Policy Summit. The purpose of the summit is to create a convening of Black women in Texas who can lead the conversation and on the critical issues surrounding Black women\, reproductive rights\, and the abortion movement. The big vision is to bring in new allies and resources for Black women living in Texas and provide a framework to implement in their respective districts\, communities\, and organizations.   \nOn October 9 – 11th in Dallas\, Texas\, The Afiya Center will bring together leading women’s rights and reproductive justice advocates and community members to shed light on reproductive oppression’s harmful effects on women\, and to collaborate on an intersectional policy agenda focused on groundbreaking solutions. This historic summit will be the first convening of this nascent coalition. \nTo kick off the summit\, TAC will host an opening reception: “Ending Reproductive Oppression: Black Women Re-Inventing the Movement for Reproductive Health & Justice.” The event will feature Loretta Ross and Byllye Avery\, co-creators of the reproductive justice framework that guides the center’s work\, in conversation with The Afiya Center founder and Executive Director\, Marsha Jones. This highly anticipate event will attract approximately 50 – 75 leaders in law\, policy\, women’s rights\, reproductive health and justice reform will be in attendance\, including women and children directly impacted by abortion access and reproductive oppression. \nTo register for this groundbreaking event  or to make a donation visit\, http://www.txblackwomenriseup.org \nFor partnership or volunteer opportunities email\, info@theafiyacenter.org

All will depend on community resources and sources of expertise. \nCome get involved\, add your expertise\, request to do a presentation\, socialize with the committee participants\, and help plan forums that are meaningful to you and your friends!

SUMMARY:TPI Fundraising Team Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The TPI Fundraising Team is charged with helping us raise money so we can do even more social justice work and eventually hire YOU as paid staff! \nTPI has prepared a strategic plan (http://tpride.org/_doc/adaptivePlanningStrategy(2016-2020).pdf) and a funding development plan (http://tpride.org/_doc/fundingDevelopmentPlan(2016-2020).pdf) to take us through 2020. We would love community input on these and of course involvement of as many as possible in helping us take our next steps forward. \nThese documents are essential elements that help us work toward our vision: “A world where all identities related to gender are free from stigma\, where relationships are subject to no administrative regulation beyond that of individual agency and desire\, and where all individuals may freely express themselves in terms of gender and relationships without fear of violence.” \nThe “strategic plan” is more accurately named an “adaptive planning strategy” to better convey TPI’s approach to grassroots planning as keeping broad goals in sight\, but being flexible about how we achieve those goals\, allowing us to be responsive to opportunities as they arise. \nThe funding development plan has projections for our needs through 2020. As with many projections\, these will change\, but this provides a starting point and goals to work toward. \nThis meeting\, we will continue to move forward with developing work around our three goals of a) funding our advocacy and accountability work\, b) funding to hire a social worker or case manager\, and c) funding to hire an organizer for project development. \nFor announcements of this and other TPI events\, please consider subscribing to our email list: http://tpride.org/subscribe/

SUMMARY:TPI Trans Survivors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:This is a peer support group that we would like to start\, and right now we are looking for persons who could guide a group discussion such as this. Until we find a facilitator\, TPI holds space during this time specifically to allow persons who have experienced violence to open up about their survival experience with supportive community. \nViolence is defined broadly. It includes not just physical and sexual assaults\, but also verbal abuse\, discrimination\, and harassment. One topic of discussion we will open the floor to this week is the violence of the Texas government in filing anti-trans suits\, and how that affects our daily lives. \nThe purpose is to provide a safe space for trans and gender diverse survivors of violence to talk about their experiences\, how they are coping\, and learn about other resources that may be available to help them cope. \nIf you would be interested in helping start this group\, and especially if you are both a survivor and have experience working with peer survivors\, please feel free to drop by between 6pm and closing to help develop this effort.
