Social Justice Film Series: Banned Together

Bard Hall At First UU
Free And Open To The Public

A Film by Kate Way and Tom Wiggin, 92 minutes, 2025

A diverse cast of visionary teenagers, intriguing characters, stirring public protests, private threats, criminal charges, and profanity-laced school board meetings: this is the world of the explosive new feature documentary, Banned Together.

Banned Together pulls back the curtain on two of the most controversial issues in America today: book bans and curriculum censorship in public schools.

Banned Together follows three young women during their senior year of high school as they fight hostile community members and school board officials to reinstate these banned books.  We witness their evolution from local to national activists as they advocate at school board meetings, sit down with national politician, famous authors and constitutional scholars, and ultimately, speak on stage at the Right to Read Rally during the American Library Association’s annual conference in Chicago.

As we follow their activist journey, Banned Together shines a light on the radical political forces who are vying for control of public education and the nationwide resistance to their efforts.

Watch the trailer.

A UNIVERSAL MEXICAN: The Surreal World of José Sacal

10/16/2025

Free entry
May 6 through October 25
8 am - 5 pm
UCSD Park & Market Gallery, 1100 Market Street

Step into the surreal world of visionary Mexican sculptor José Sacal (1944–2018) in this powerful new exhibition to experience emotionally charged, politically resonant sculptures that reimagine cultural and historical figures—from Einstein and Gandhi to Frida Kahlo and Don Quixote—through Sacal’s distinctive abstract lens. Known for his expressive bronze and ceramic works, Sacal challenged traditional forms to explore themes of identity, justice, and the human condition. This binational cultural initiative exemplifies “art as borderless education,” celebrating the powerful role of the arts in fostering dialogue, civic reflection, and lifelong learning between the U.S. and Mexico. Spanning more than six decades of Sacal’s career, the exhibition pushes viewers to question what it means to live with dignity in a complex world.

Distribución de Alimentos los Sábados: Todo lo que necesita saber

10/15/2025

0 Comments

 
PictureBoleto
En la despensa de alimentos First UU, estamos comprometidos a que nuestra distribución semanal en Chula Vista sea lo más organizada y libre de estrés posible. Para asegurar que todos tengan una experiencia fluida, utilizamos un sistema de boletos por mensaje de texto para nuestras distribuciones de los sábados.
A continuación, encontrará su guía paso a paso sobre cómo recibir alimentos este fin de semana.
1. Cómo obtener un boletoPara recibir alimentos, debe tener un boleto. No utilizamos una fila física de espera; en su lugar, puede asegurar su lugar desde la comodidad de su hogar.
  • Envíe un mensaje de texto al: (619) 678-0134.
  • Cuándo: Todos los sábados por la mañana.
  • Hora: El sistema abre a las 7:00 AM en punto.
  • Consejo de experto: Generalmente, todos los boletos se agotan para las 7:10 AM. Recomendamos programar una alarma y enviar el mensaje justo a las 7:00 AM.
Qué escribir en el mensaje: Para que el proceso sea lo más rápido posible, su primer mensaje debe ser simplemente el número de familias para las que recogerá alimentos: 1, 2 o 3.
Importante: Por favor, evite enviar "Hola" o "Buenos días" como su primer mensaje. Enviar un saludo en lugar de un número puede retrasar el sistema y causar que se quede sin boleto antes de que se agoten.
¿Qué pasa si es mi primera vez?
¡No necesita estar registrado previamente para obtener un boleto! Si es su primera vez, simplemente envíe su número (1, 2 o 3) para obtener su lugar. Llenará un formulario de registro sencillo cuando llegue.
  • Lo que pedimos: Información básica para ayudarnos a medir nuestro impacto en la comunidad.
  • Lo que NO pedimos: Nunca pedimos identificación ni prueba de ciudadanía.
  • Nota: Nuestro sistema de mensajes solo funciona con números de teléfono de EE. UU.
2. ¿Qué incluye su boleto?Su boleto digital contiene dos datos importantes:
  • Su número: Representa su lugar específico en la fila.
  • Hora de recogida: Es la hora aproximada en la que debe llegar al lugar.
3. Detalles de recogida y ubicación
  • Cuándo: Sábados de 11:00 AM a 12:45 PM.
  • Dónde: St. John's, 760 1st Ave, Chula Vista, CA 91910.
  • Estacionamiento: El espacio es muy limitado. Por favor, no llegue antes de la hora indicada en su boleto. Esto ayuda a prevenir la congestión de tráfico y garantiza una mejor experiencia para todos los vecinos.
4. Recordatorios útiles
  • ¿Qué define a una "familia"? Para nuestra distribución, un boleto de "familia" cubre aproximadamente a 4 personas que viven en el mismo hogar. Puede recoger alimentos para un máximo de 3 familias (usted y dos más).
  • Qué traer: Si tiene un carrito plegable personal, ¡le recomendamos traerlo! Si no tiene uno, no se preocupe; tenemos suficientes cajas vacías disponibles para que las use.
Agradecemos su cooperación al seguir este proceso. Al usar el sistema de boletos y llegar a su hora programada, nos ayuda a servir a la comunidad de Chula Vista de manera más eficiente.
¡Esperamos verle este sábado!
