    February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In

    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

    A VIRTUAL CABARET BENEFITING THE NATIONAL BREAST CANCER COALITION FUND FROM THE HOSTS OF AND THE NEWGala YORK Sunday, December 6, 2020 5 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. ET A LETTER FROM FRAN Dear Friends, Welcome to our first-everVirtual Cabaret Event and an evening of talented performances and tantalizing fun, all for a great cause. This year marks the 20th Anniversary of our Les Girls Cabaret and the 25th Anniversary of our NY Gala, and these two special events have sustained the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), year after year. When the pandemic hit, I began to wonder if either event would happen. But we found a way. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our Event Committee, the encouragement of our sponsors, the personal commitment of our hosts and performers, and the imagination of our production team, we are able to combine both events and once again offer a one-of-a-kind, fantastic evening. We are forever grateful to all of them. Since 1991, NBCC has been at the vanguard of the breast cancer movement, elevating breast cancer to an issue of national significance. NBCC brought about a federal research program that has awarded over $3.75 billion in research grants. We empower women and men, through education and training, to become a unified voice to save lives. And through our Artemis Project®, we lead a collaboration of exceptional scientists and dedicated advocates who focus on research to prevent women and men from getting breast cancer in the first place and stop it from metastasizing and taking lives.
  • About the Author

    About the Author

    Lawrence Hill: About the Author Hill is the author of ten books of fiction and non-fiction. In 2005, he won his first Writing literary honour: a National Magazine Award for the article “Is Africa’s Pain Black America’s Burden?” published in The Walrus. His first two novels were Some Great Thing and Any Known Blood, and his first non-fiction work to attract national attention was the memoir Black Berry, Sweet Juice: On Being Black and White in Canada. But it was his third novel, The Book of Negroes (HarperCollins Canada, 2007) — published in some countries as Someone Knows My Name and in French as Aminata — that attracted widespread attention in Canada and other countries. Lawrence Hill’s non-fiction book, Blood: The Stuff of Life was published in September 2013 by House of Anansi Press. Blood is a personal consideration of the physical, social, cultural and psychological aspects of blood, and how it defines, unites and divides us. Hill drew from the book to deliver the 2013 Massey Lectures across Canada. In 2013, Hill published the essay Dear Sir, I Intend to Burn Your Book: An Anatomy of a Book Burning (University of Alberta Press). His fourth novel, The Illegal, was published by HarperCollins Canada in 2015 and by WW Norton in the USA in 2016. Hill is currently writing a new novel and a children’s book, and is a professor of creative writing at the University of Guelph, in Ontario. Personal Lawrence Hill is the son of American immigrants — a black father and a white mother — who came to Canada the day after they married in 1953 in Washington, D.C.

    The brainchild of director Norman Jewison, the Canadian Film Centre has been a driving force behind the development of Canadian filmmaking talent over the past 10 years. Some of Canada's most celebrated filmmakers—John Greyson (Zero Patience, Uncut), David Wellington (I Love a Man in Uniform, Long Day's Journey Into Night), Mina Shum (Double Happiness, Drive, She Said), Don McKellar (Blue, Last Nlght)—have been trained at the Centre, along with over 300 other graduates currently working in the Canadian film, television or new media industries. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, the Centre has organized a coast-to-coast retrospective screening tour of 25 Centre shorts to be accompanied by a series of lectures and discussions with the filmmakers. Also, the Toronto International Film Festival will be screening a series of six Centre shorts— Don McKellar's Blue, Holly Dale's Dead Meat, Collen Murphy's The Feeler, Laurie Lynd's The Fairy Who Didn't Want to be a Fairy Anymore, Clement Virgo's Save My Lost Nigga' Soul—paired By Wyndham Wise with a feature film by the same director.
