Please excuse this late post (I've been blocked from my account until recently and still only have limited access) but I wanted to thank @docnycfest and our whole team for an incredible screening, Q&A, and festival experience where we won a JURY AWARD đâ¨.
Truly blessed and grateful for my collaborators and the chance to create art and tell impactful stories during these challenging times. #51stStateFilm #democracy #votingrights #representationmatters #documentary #community
TODAY, the new documentary short Lifelines launches in New York City, kicking off a cross-country screening tour.
Directed by Hannah Rosenzweig and Robin Honan and co-executive produced by Olympic legend Allyson Felix, Lifelines follows families in New Jersey and Colorado navigating childbirth and unexpected medical emergencies â and shows what becomes possible when a paid family and medical leave program is in place.
The tour begins as weâre celebrating paid leave wins from Virginia to Colorado, and just weeks before legislators and advocates from 25 states gather in Washington to chart a path toward a 50-state strategy and federal action.
The momentum is growing.
Stay tuned for our next stops and our public release later this month. Follow @lifelinesthefilm to learn more.

Gloria Steinem has spent decades organizing, fighting for womenâs rights, and hosting talking circles in her home. At 92, sheâs still doing it, not only because it feeds her soul but also because itâs necessary. In 2026, we are fighting the same fight for our basic rightsâfor our bodily autonomy and our right to vote.
This week, @votemamalobby friendsâfrom 6 months to 92 years oldâgathered in @gloriasteinem âs living room to support our moms running up and down the ballot and to talk about how we are changing the political system. We heard from our mama @lbtforcongress , who is Chief Public Affairs Officer at the nationâs largest Planned Parenthood affiliate, a mom of a one year old, and the only Black woman running for Congress in a red-to-blue district.Â
This event was a reminder of why Vote Mama does what we do to break barriers and elect Democratic mamas: so that our babies donât have to fight these same fights.

Lt. Governor of MN Peggy Flanagan last night in Brooklyn. No words⌠đ˘. Peggy is running for Senate to succeed Tina Smith. Sheâs the first Native American woman Lt Governor and would be the first Native Senator ever. Please support Peggy⌠I was so moved by her. She also gave us these 3 organizations to support RIGHT NOW in Minnesota:
@immigrantdefensenetwork - Immigrant Defense Network
@unidosmn - UNIDOS in Minnesota
@womensfndnmn - Womenâs Foundation of Minnesota
Thank you Lt. Gov Flanagan. Follow her PeggyFlanagan (she canât be tagged in posts).
Thank you @thekabira@votemamalobby for hosting such a moving evening

Sharing the statement from the Committee for the First Amendment on the arrests of journalists Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and others.
We are part of the 1a Committee, a collective of artists and cultural workers, founded by Jane Fonda and standing together to defend free expression against repression, industry complicity, and intimidation.
We fight back by spreading the truth: Arresting journalists for doing their jobs is an attack on our freedoms and our democracy.
As journalist Georgia Fort asked immediately upon her release: âDo we have a Constitution?ââ
This is a test. They want us scared and quiet, but we canât let fear win.

We are now streaming on @pbs ! The story of young D.C. activists & the statehood movement are more important than ever. We have to envision a way to #FreeDC.
You can also see us on @wetatvfm + stay tuned for our broadcast in late October!!
We are excited to share our story on public television and on the local D.C. metro platform, both doing more than ever to support artists & filmmakers.
