Finding Hope in the Grand Valley’s History of Resistance

Yet, there are still lessons to be learned about how we can resist in the coming years. There is inspiration to be found in the bravery of those who have fought before us, there is a pattern of direct action and civil disobedience to studied, there are precedents of welcoming Japanese-Americans into our community to strive for, and there is a narrative of perseverance, as even anti-socialist suppression and the rise of the KKK could not keep the socialists or their ideas from moving forward. What will some future historian write about our resistance to MAGA fascism? Will we leave them something to write about? Will some future radical find inspiration in our derring-do, find courage in the stands we make today, or find resolve in our actions in the face of hopelessness?  We hope so.

The Invisible Patient: A Q & A with Jhova Films

The elegance of stage performance, the meticulousness of musical composition, and the innovation of creative technology. It’s just as much an artform as it is a working class craft. It requires distinct expertise in so many different fields, and ultimately the pursuit of filmmaking has led to numerous instances of technological pioneering. The very nature of the craft creates infinite possibilities to tell stories. To have the honor and privilege of pursuing that craft and seeking to make your mark on that sprawling tapestry—there’s something extraordinarily special about that to me.
