Stand with Pride "We're Here" Rally
2023-01-15 15:00 | Rockland County Pride Center, 28 South Franklin Street, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
Stand with Pride: ‘We’re Here’ Rally
Sunday, January 15th at 3PM
in front of the Pride Center, 28 S. Franklin Street, Nyack, NY
Why a Rally?
Remember when men jokingly said “no homo” to prevent their kindness from being mistaken for queerness? Wednesday morning, staff discovered someone had graffitied that phrase on the front of the Pride Center.
Incidents of hateful graffiti, threats, and intimidation are rising at LGBTQ+ community centers around the country.
These are the inevitable expression of a political moment charged with violence and hatred of LGBTQ+ people. We’ve already seen what happens when elected officials embolden individuals to take action to “protect children.”
We saw it at Club Q in Colorado Springs.
We saw it when Boston Children’s Hospital received bomb threats for providing healthcare to LGBTQ+ youth and their families.
We see it locally in threats against the Pride Center for working with schools.
No matter what happens: We’re here. We’re queer. Period. Nothing will change the reality that we are your teachers, neighbors, doctors, and pastors. We are your children whether you choose to see us or not.
To hate us is to hate a part of yourself.
See you on Sunday!

Film Screening of Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic
2023-01-25 18:00 | Nyack Library, 59 South Broadway, Nyack, NY, 10960, United States
January is Human Trafficking Awareness Month
This event is free, open to community, and will be followed by a talk back and expert panel discussion featuring a representative from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI),
Andrea Panjwani, Chief Legal Officer, Center for Safety & Change, and Jennifer Hammer, Coordinator of Anti-Human Trafficking Outreach and Services, Center for Safety & Change.
About the Film: Sextortion: The Hidden Pandemic is an investigation into the world of online grooming and sextortion–a present-day reality for one in seven children online. By unsealing the federal case of a top-gun pilot with hundreds of victims, and interviewing survivors and their parents, this true-crime piece exposes an often-overlooked crime against children, the tactics of online predators, and the voices of parents and law enforcement poised to stop online child exploitation in its tracks.
This event is co-sponsored by:

A performance not to be missed in a venue that is equally extraordinary.
BIO
Vassily Primakov
In recent years, Vassily Primakov has been hailed as a pianist of world class importance. In 1999, as a teen-aged prizewinner of the Cleveland International Piano Competition, Primakov was praised by Donald Rosenberg of the Cleveland Plain Dealer: “How many pianists can make a line sing as the Moscow native did on this occasion? Every poignant phrase took ethereal wing. Elsewhere the music soared with all of the turbulence and poetic vibrancy it possesses. We will be hearing much from this remarkable musician.”
Vassily Primakov has released numerous recordings for Bridge Records that include works by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Chopin, Dvorak, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff, Philip Glass, Arlene Sierra and Poul Ruders.
In 2011, Mr. Primakov, along with Natalia Lavrova established a new and vibrant record company, L.P. Classics, Inc. Their first release was Anton Arensky: Four Suites for Two Pianos. Most recently, they released Primakov’s Live in Concert Album that includes works by Medtner, Schumann, Brahms’ Handel Variations and Ravel’s La Valse. www.lpclassics.net
In March 2012 Vassily Primakov became a Yamaha Artist.
Vassily Primakov is Artistic Director of Sparkill Concert Series since 2018 together with Oxana Mikhailoff.

WHAT HAPPENED TO JACKSON AVENUE
A Story of Urban Renewal
A Documentary Film by Hakima Alem and Rudi Gohl
In the summer of 2019 Clara Francesca, Elise Stone, and Craig Smith from
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble were meeting with Bill Batson, Nyack community
leader, historian, and activist, outside in the Nyack parking lot next to
Main Street planning the Nyack performing arts festival. At one point Bill
standing in some empty parking spaces said, “This was Jackson Avenue, our
family house stood here” – thus began a 2-year journey leading to this
powerful documentary film about the urban renewal program in 1960’s Nyack.
“What Happened to Jackson Avenue, a story of urban renewal” covers an urban
renewal program that removed 125 families (79% Black). These families lost
their homes, families, community and generational wealth. The film includes
personal and emotional stories from individuals who were present and saw
the destruction of their community, some of whom are now in their 80s and
90s and want to be heard.
This screening will be followed by a panel discussion.
