In celebration of Pride, Esther Newton Made Me Gay - Documentary is screening free and on-demand now through June 30 on our Eventive watch page: https://watch.eventive.org/workersunitefilmfest2026

From discovering gay life in the 1950s to shaping the foundations of LGBTQ and Gender Studies, Esther’s story connects personal resilience with political change. Through humor, vulnerability, and the physical demands of competitive dog agility, the film reveals how identity is forged through persistence, community, and the courage to live openly against the odds.

Happy Working Mothers Day to all the Hard. Working Mothers who must balance their working lives with caring and providing for the children they love so much.
Though it might not happen for another few years, we cannot stop fighting for free, universal childcare for working people as exists in every other western civilized society in the world. Working Moms please enjoy your day!
