DESCRIPTION:For nearly twenty years\, Larry Yee has been the heart and soul of the Yee Fung Toy Family Association\, a fraternal organization in San Francisco’s iconic Chinatown. But to his daughter Lauren\, a playwright living in New York\, the association is an obsolete relic of a vanishing world. When Larry suddenly disappears\, Lauren sets off on a wild quest to find him\, embarking on a surreal\, magical journey through the history and myths of her own lineage.

SUMMARY:Its Time to Get #VoteReady for the 2026 Midterms - Part 2
DESCRIPTION:Registration was step one. Now let’s get voters informed\, prepared\, and to the polls. \nA Two-Part Webinar Series \nNational Voter Registration Day on September 15th was only the beginning. Once voters are registered\, the next challenge is making sure they have the information\, confidence\, and plan they need to actually participate. It’s Time to Get #VoteReady is a two-part webinar series designed to help nonprofits and community organizations guide voters from registration all the way to the ballot box. \nPart 1: Voter Education — October 6 focuses on turning registered voters into informed and confident voters. Participants will learn how to help their communities check their registration\, understand what is on the ballot\, navigate voting rules and options\, identify trustworthy sources\, make a voting plan\, and recognize misinformation without becoming partisan. The session will emphasize the role nonprofits play as trusted messengers and provide practical\, easy-to-share resources organizations can use in their outreach. \nPart 2: GOTV — October 20 shifts from information to action. With Election Day approaching\, organizations will learn how to build an effective\, nonpartisan Get Out the Vote strategy that motivates people to follow through on their voting plans. We’ll cover timely reminders\, relational outreach\, volunteer engagement\, digital and in-person tactics\, early voting promotion\, overcoming common barriers\, and creating a sense of momentum around participation. \n

SUMMARY:NYC School Integration Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of dialogue about how to advance school integration in New York City. \n\n\n\n\nNew York City schools remain among the most segregated in the United States. For years\, community leaders\, students\, educators\, and city-commissioned working groups have put forward detailed recommendations to address inequality—yet systemic changes have not come. \nSparked by Nikole Hannah-Jones’ recent New York Times Magazine essay on her family’s decade of experience navigating the school system\, segregation and inequality are back in the public conversation. This event is a chance to have the conversation together in the same room. \nJoin The Bell and New York Appleseed for a frank\, urgent town hall bringing students\, parents\, educators\, and advocates together with Nikole Hannah-Jones and NYC Schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels. Together\, we will discuss what integration actually looks like on the ground\, the policy choices that have inhibited progress\, and the swift actions required to deliver equity for all NYC students.
