WITNESS AT TORNILLO - Film Screening, Panel Discussion and Q&A
Astronaut John "Danny" Olivas, Ph.D., P.E., & Family are honored to announce the launch of The Space for Everyone Foundation - a 501(c)3 mission to support the Health and Well Being of ALL children and families, regardless of immigration status.
The Olivas Family Space For Everyone Foundation launch event, in collaboration with South Bay Cares, in support of Doctor Without Borders and The Witness Fund includes screening of critically-acclaimed documentary, Witness at Tornillo, Panel Discussion and Q&A.
Following the screening, there will be a panel discussion and Q&A moderated by Pulitzer Prize journalist, author and advocate Sonia Nazario. The panel will include witness activists Josh and Melissa Rubin, Astronauts Danny Olivas and John Herrington, and children's advocate Marie Olivas.
Witness at Tornillo follows 66-year old Josh Rubin from Brooklyn, an activist who has become a fixture of the #FamilliesBelongTogether protests. He helped draw national attention to the Tornillo facility, moving on from there to a similar youth detention facility in Hometead, Florida.
Rubin defines witnessing -- the "radical act of seeing" -- as a key form of protest.
