Free and open to the public, the film will be shown at 6 p.m. in Textor 103. In 2011, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in the New York Times Magazine. Documented chronicles his journey to America from the Philippines as a child; his public struggle as an immigration reform activist/provocateur; and his journey inward as he reconnects with his mother, whom he hasn't seen in 20 years.The Out of the Closet and Onto the Screen series is sponsored by the Ithaca College Center for LGBT Education, Outreach, and Services.

SEPT 7-DEC 8 Art Exhibition how the light gets in, an exhibition about the movement of people across the globe and the welcome cracks that develop in our notions of borders and nation states—“that’s how the light gets in,” Leonard Cohen sang in his 1992 song “Anthem”: “Ring the bells that still can ring/Forget your perfect offering/There is a crack in everything/That’s how the light gets in.” At Johnson Museum http://museum.cornell.edu/exhibitions/how-the-light-gets-in

THU Sept 19: 6-pm-7:30 @ TCPL (Borg-Warner West room); report back from El Salvador and Colombia. Join us for a conversation with Patricia Rodriguez (Politics Prof., IC) and Beth Harris (retired Politics Prof., IC) who went to El Salvador together on a migration delegation with US-El Salvador Sister Cities in July. Patricia also went to visit the Women’s Movement for the Defense of Life, in Cajibio, Colombia.
There are things that about immigration and about ‘peace’ and development in Latin America that the mainstream discussion on these issues is leaving undiscussed, and that need to be part of an analysis of why people are being pushed out of their territories and find little support for any alternative but to migrate. They will also speak of a proposal for the School of the Americas Watch centered on strengthening solidarity with communities fighting extractivism in Colombia and Honduras, and about an upcoming youth encuentro in El Salvador. This will be a fundraiser event for funds to the women’s group in Colombia, and for travel expenses for a local youth to go to El Salvador.
