Feb. 7-11 – Go see a play for Black History Month
The Colored Museum is a play written by George C. Wolfe that premiered in 1986. In a series of 11 “exhibits” (sketches), the review explores and satires prominent themes and identities of African-American culture.

For schedule, tickets and more information, call 493-3452 or visit www.callutheran.edu/college-arts-sciences/theatre-arts.

Feb. 8th – Thursday – Movie Screening
EQUAL MEANS EQUAL is an unflinching look at how women are treated in the United States today. By following both real life stories and precedent-setting legal cases, director Kamala Lopez discovers how outdated and discriminatory attitudes inform and influence seemingly disparate issues, from workplace matters to domestic violence, rape and sexual assault to the foster care system, the healthcare system and the legal system. Along the way, she reveals the inadequacy of present laws in place that claim to protect women, ultimately presenting a compelling and persuasive argument for the urgency of ratifying the Equal Rights Amendment.
The VCRRN (Ventura County Reproductive Rights Network) is proud to co-sponsor this event.

Feb. 21st – Wednesday – Movie Screening
“Break the Chain” Movie Screening at the Museum of Ventura County.
Facebook link
Produced and Directed by Michigan documentary filmmakers, Laura E. Swanson and Kirk Mason, ‘Break the Chain’ is an award-winning feature-length documentary film that addresses the often “hidden-in-plain-sight” issue of Human Trafficking within Michigan communities and the United States. The film chronicles two survivors of Human Trafficking – providing a detailed look at how trafficking goes unnoticed within our backyards.
Accompanying the stories of these survivors are nearly 20 interviews with researchers, Senators, non-profit organizations, legal service agencies, law enforcement officers and several artists actively working to raise awareness for this global issue. The film teaches us that what we see in the media about human trafficking is one small sensationalized form – that it occurs anywhere and everywhere within our world. More importantly, viewers will learn how we are all connected to this extremely profitable business and that we have the power to choose what we support, and ultimately, how we break the chain.
Hopefully, this day WON’T come…
