Join Film Streams as it hosts an evening of discussion on the child care crisis, which is being felt locally, and across the nation.

The evening begins with a screening of Clarissa’s Battle. The focus of the film is Clarrisa, a single Black mother from Oakland, California. Her experience growing up, first as an unhoused infant, sparked a lifelong desire to advocate for childcare and preschool as a basic human right.

After the film hear from local panelists about the critical issues surrounding childcare, early childhood education, and available family with support.

Panelists include:

• Moderator Ilissa Talkington, parent ambassador program manager for Nebraska Early Childhood Collaborative

• Omaha District 10 Senator Wendy DeBoer

• Makaela Clemons, parent ambassador for the Nebraska Early Childhood Collaborative

• Ana Yumul, owner of Bella’s Daycare

Tickets are $12, and can be reserved here.
