Cherubs Productions and 35k Productions will present a revival of Ruby Rae Spiegel’s Dry Land, directed by Makaio Toft, starring Yellowjackets’ Nuha Jes Izman as Ester and Isa Barrett (Ramy, Gossip Girl) as Amy, with Gabriella Anifantis and Avery Fischbach rounding out the cast. The production will begin performances March 13 at University Settlement in New York City. Proceeds from the run will benefit The New York Abortion Access Fund (NYAAF), which supports New Yorkers and people traveling to New York State to access abortion care. Additional producers include Olivia Hewitt and Morgan Bramwell. Sophia Conlon leads marketing for the production. Set in a Florida high school locker room, Dry Land follows the private struggles and unlikely bond between two teenage girls as they navigate friendship, bodily autonomy, and the pressures of growing up. Spiegel’s play blends dark comedy with tender coming-of-age moments and stark drama, offering an unflinching portrait of adolescence.

Listen to the powerful voices of survivors who shared their stories at the Patient Advocacy Day Press Conference on January 30th, 2026. Over 100 survivors were present for Patient Advocacy Day, and several spoke in opposition to House Bill 99, heard in the House Health and Human Services Committee Friday morning.  After being amended, House Bill 99 passed on a 7-3 vote. The amendment ensures that accountability remains in place for billion dollar corporate hospitals, while protecting doctors by allowing damage caps for independent doctors, and community hospitals owned and operated by and for New Mexicans.   Survivors shared their stories during the hearing for House Bill 99 as well as at the press conference following the hearing. Speakers featured In this reel (as shown in order): ⚪️ Rachael Lorenzo ⚪️ Aleta “Tweety” Suazo ⚪️ Valarie Gee ⚪️ Aura Chavez Continued strength to all who shared their story.

Law enforcement agencies are adopting increasingly advanced surveillance technologies to gather intelligence on the populations they are meant to protect - and this includes Indigenous communities. Through the AtlasofSurveillance.org, The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been documenting the growth and evolution of this technology, including drones, license plate readers, face recognition and artificial intelligence. The session will cover the tech deployed by tribal police and how it's funded, as well as how federal surveillance is growing in tribal communities in the borderlands.
