Let's watch the 98th Academy Awards together while also celebrating the great BIPOC, queer, and Palestinian films that for some reason the Academy forgets about. 10% of bar sales will be split between the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund, The Safe Passage Project and COVERS BY MP3. I'll be matching whatever we raise up to $200, if you'd like to donate feel free to venmo me @wyntonwong. Also ping me if you want to join in on a match! Share freely! If we're gonna drink, we might as well drink together and for good causes!
We also have a raffle prize if you donate money! You could win a Gold Pass to this year's Asian American International Film Festival! Any donation before/during the event will qualify!
Palestinian Children's Relief Fund: (https://pcrf-rescue.org/)
Our organization was established with a clear and urgent mission: to restore access to life-saving pediatric healthcare for children in Gaza.
In regions affected by prolonged instability and limited medical infrastructure, children are disproportionately impacted. Conditions that would otherwise be treatable become life-threatening when access to specialized care, surgical intervention, essential medicines, or diagnostic resources is interrupted.
The Safe Passage Project: (https://www.safepassageproject.org/)
Free lawyers for immigrant children. It’s that simple.
Safe Passage Project is a highly-focused nonprofit immigration legal services organization. We provide free lawyers to refugee and immigrant children in the NYC-area & Long Island who face deportation back to life-threatening situations, despite their strong legal claim to stay in the US.
COVERS BY MP3: (https://linktr.ee/coversbymp3)
COVERS BY MP3 is a multimedia project that documents and honors the immigration stories of elders who shaped the Korean diaspora, using the music they cherished as a lens into their journeys of home-making and belonging.
Organized as a series of “tracks,” each set offers a layered exploration f memory, music, and intergenerational connection through learning about our past to heal our present and build towards a future with a broadened collective memory.
