screening Crushing Wheelchairs

**Friday, November 6, 7pm screening Crushing Wheelchairs (2025)** Directed by tiny gray-garcia and Adrian Diamond Runtime: 1:56. min. **Q&A with directors and the POOR Magazine group** A powerful new movie created by houseless/formerly houseless artists, cultural workers, poets, and survivors in the Bay Area.

We’re just seen as the victim, just holding on by a thread. Which we are… but we are also beautiful, and we also create life and beauty*.” –tiny gray-garcia, director “*It’s us, it’s you, it’s me, together. We cannot depend on the government, because we see which way that’s going. When we say‘all power in the people,’ there is power in the people*.” –Frances Moore, cast member POOR Magazine was started in 1996 by an indigenous, landless mother and daughter who struggled with extreme poverty, incarceration, and criminalization in the US. It is a poor-peoples, indigenous-led grassroots arts organization dedicated to providing revolutionary media access, arts, and education, and building solutions through community self-determination and Homefulness.

And while 15,000 or 20,000 steps would be great, they also require more time. So to make it fun and manageable, we’re starting with 10k steps as a challenge—and we may increase the goal in future events. **THE IMPORTANT POINTS ARE THESE;** Space is limited, so **please RSVP only if you’re 100% sure you’ll attend.** 🙏🏾If you RSVP and don’t show, you will be 🚩Red Flagged 🚩for future events—we all appreciate reliability and respect for others' abilities to get a spot to walk!🙏🏾 Expect to hit somewhere between **10,000–12,000 steps (approximately 7.5-9 miles),** depending on the pace and group.

So, let’s **stay active together** and **make this a Strong part of our routine.** **See You There.** [COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE IN AGREEMENT] **NOW IS THE TIME, LET’S GET TO WALKING;** Btw. Yes, Lacy Park allows dogs. However, they must be on a leash and it will be your own responsibility. No running involved. Just a casual, social walk. Bring water if you need it. **Free street parking is available in the surrounding areas. Please avoid parking inside the park lot, as the gates may close before we finish our walk.** **Park closes at dusk so I strongly advise against parking inside any of the lots. Just drive around, and you can easily find free open parking spaces.** **Lacy Park is located at 1485 Virginia Road, San Marino, CA 91108**
