On Tues., May 13, join Whites for Racial Equity and the Unitarian Universalist Church for a powerful screening of Fancy Dance, the critically acclaimed film that tells a gripping story of resilience, family, and resistance in the face of systemic violence. It stars Lily Gladstone.

Gladstone is the first Native American to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture and be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Joining us will be Airam Coronado, a member of Yoeme and Cora indigenous descent who grew up in East Salinas. She will talk about the ongoing crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) here in Monterey County and how we can be effective allies. This event is not just a film screening—it's a call to action.

All across our nation Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit relatives are going missing and being murdered at staggering rates—too often without investigation, without justice, and without the national outcry they deserve.

Let’s gather, witness, and uplift. Let’s speak the names and stories that too often go unheard.
