Ascend is an organization that supports female mou

Ascend is an organization that supports female mountain climbers through mountaineering-based leadership training and community service projects. After the Taliban took power, they worked to help resettle their Afghan alumni in new countries around the world. Our sister foundation, Cultures of Resistance Network, has been able to support Ascend as they continue to help their resettled members adjust to their new lives, including by helping them take part in outdoor activities in their new homes in Chile and Ireland.

In Syrian village of Aljina near the city of Alepp

In Syrian village of Aljina near the city of Aleppo, Wasim Satot has opened a karate school for children. What makes it so special is that girls and boys with and without disabilities are taught together. The school aims to create a sense of community that can help children overcome their wartime experiences. Wasim Satot is the latest
recipient of our Cultures of Resistance Awards and will be using the award to support the classes.

The degradation of Haiti's environment is a major

The degradation of Haiti's environment is a major contributor to poverty for people who rely on the land and its related ecosystems for their livelihoods. The Quixote Center is working to support their partners at the JMV Agricultural Center in Haiti, as they work towards reforestation through cultivating tree seedlings, compost programs and farmer trainings. They are also helping the JMV Center establish their own ways to bring in income, including helping farmers increase their household income through expanding their plantain fields.

Our sister foundation, the L/G foundation, has been proud to support their efforts!

Every student deserves the right to clean water! We are excited that The Usmania Rustam Khel primary school in Maidan Wardak province, Afghanistan has been able to drill a new water well with our support! Now the water is available for students to drink and wash with, with the runoff being used to irrigate trees on school property. They have also been able to install solar panels, a pump, cables, and a water pipe to bring water to the school! Special thanks to @james_b_longley for overseeing this project for us while he was in Afghanistan working on film pre-production. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Lebanon hosts one of the world’s highest numbers

Lebanon hosts one of the world’s highest numbers of refugees per capita, including over 1.5 million Syrian refugees! We are therefore excited to introduce you to one of our recipients of Cultures of Resistance Awards — “Greenhouse for all” is a project in Lebanon that provides farming tools and educational programs for refugee communities.

Their agriculture project provides organic vegetable, fruit and flower seedlings to refugee families and helps them set up vegetable gardens. The project allows refugees to build up their homes and provides an outlet for stress.

Their educational project teaches Arabic, English, Math, and social skills for kids who are unfamiliar with school. More than half of Syrian children who are refugees have never been to school in Lebanon.

In October of 1992, 321 PMs entered Pavilion 9 of the São Paulo Detention House, in the Carandiru Complex, killing 111 people in about 20 minutes.

After 31 years of the most barbaric action of the Brazilian State against its prison population, no reforms have been made in prison policies and mass incarceration has only intensified — to 820 thousand in 2021. The Carandiru massacre showed us the violations of rights caused by overcrowding and poor prison conditions.

This is why the work being done by Instituto de @_direitodedefesa (IDDD) to improve Brazil’s justice system is so crucial! One of our sister foundations, the L/G foundation, supported their Prova Sob Suspeita project, which is working to reduce arbitrary convictions through a combination of training, advocacy and research.

In the United States alone, nearly 10 billion farm $In the United States alone, nearly 10 billion farm animals annually endure anguished lives of unimaginable confinement and cruelty before being slaughtered for food at just a fraction of their natural lifespans. Their numbers swell to an estimated 77 billion worldwide each year. That is why we are proud of the work being done by Farm Sanctuary, which runs one of the largest farm animal rescue and placement collaborative in North America. One of our sister foundations, the L/G foundation, supports their Rescue and Replacement program which rescues exploited animals, provides them with needed medical and other care, and places them in new homes. We are so glad to contribute to the well-being of these innocent animals!

At 50 years old, Aziz Al-Asmar is a graffiti paint

At 50 years old, Aziz Al-Asmar is a graffiti painter from the city of Binnish in northern Syria and the latest recipient of our Cultures of Resistance Award.

His drawings have covered the walls of houses bombed by warplanes and explored topics including displacement, the effects of war, racism, the environment, and human rights. The award will go to support his art.

“Drawing is a universal language, and our message was that our revolution is a revolution of thought, art, and humanity, and that we are not terrorists.. and that we wish peace for all the peoples of the world,” Al-Asmar said.

Over a year and a half since the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, the situation for women and girls continues to deteriorate. Girls have limited educational opportunities and there has been a drastic decrease in the womens’ employment rate. Our sister foundation, the Cultures of Resistance Network, is glad to be able to support the organization Free to Run and their Omid program which is training young women in Afghanistan to provide small-scale fitness sessions to other women in their community, offering them a place to improve their physical wellness and mental health. Omid is the Dari word for hope.

Fur farming could lead to the next global pandemic

Fur farming could lead to the next global pandemic! The bird flu (H5N1), which has a 56% mortality rate in humans, is usually contracted only through direct contact with infected birds. However, minks were found to have passed the deadly H5N1 virus to one another on a fur factory farm in Spain, indicating that bird flu can mutate and enhance its ability to spread among mammals, including humans. Breeding and raising animals creates hotspots for zoonotic diseases. Those raised on industrial farms for food or fur, like minks, are bred by the thousands and usually kept in cramped and unsanitary conditions, often surrounded by their own waste. If you’re sick of global pandemics, help PETA shut down fur farms in order to end their cruelty and limit the spread of disease!

MODULATIONS | SCREENING [ENGLISH OV]

Modulations ist ein Dokumentarfilm in Spielfilmlänge, der einen Moment in der Geschichte festhält, in dem Menschen und Maschinen miteinander verschmelzen, um die aufregendsten Klänge von heute zu schaffen. Er zeichnet die Entwicklung der elektronischen Musik als eine der tiefgreifendsten künstlerischen Entwicklungen des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts nach. Zwischen Avantgarde-Komponisten, den innovativen Synthesizer-Drones von Kraftwerk, Giorgio Moroders eisiger Euro-Disco, Afrika Bambaataas Elektro-Funk und Prodigys weltweiten Durchbruch, zelebriert, reproduziert und beleuchtet Modulations das nomadische Treiben des posthumanen Techno-Sounds. Der Film untersucht die Kids, die den Plattenspieler in ein Musikinstrument verwandelt haben, desillusionierte Disco-Liebhaber, die aus primitiven Synthesizern Acid House kreierten, Außenseiter aus der Motor City, die in der Drum-Machine ihren Ausweg aus der städtischen Verwahrlosung sahen, und eine Generation britischer Jugendlicher, die diese Blips und Bleeps in Dancefloor-Hymnen ihrer eigenen Entfremdung verwandelte.

We are excited to announce our latest Cultures of Resistance Awards recipient, Mohamad Sabsabi from Lebanon!

With a passion for inventions, Sabsabi built his own vertical axis wind turbine that helps supply his family and six other homes with the energy they need. He is currently working on a type of “electronic charcoal” that will help reduce deforestation by providing energy without requiring the cutting of trees! In the future, Sabsabi hopes to build his own wind turbine factory and to develop more technologies to help people overcome energy supply problems in sustainable ways!

Eight years of war in Yemen have led to countless

Eight years of war in Yemen have led to countless lives lost and untold suffering. In order to turn the tide against this war and the humanitarian crisis it is causing, we MUST call for an end to the U.S. support of Saudi Arabia. Our sister foundation, the Cultures of Resistance Network, is proud to support Action Corps, a group that is leading the “Yemen Can’t Wait National Day of Protest” on March 1st to push the US government to stop enabling Saudi Arabia by providing military and diplomatic support. We hope as many people as possible will take part in the protest and will pressure their representatives to support the War Powers Resolution!
