International Rescue Committee (IRC)

Join us in Oakland for a Free Film Screening with ITVS

Independent Television Service (ITVS) is hosting free screenings of the documentary film Half the Sky (trailer). This free event is an excellent opportunity to learn more about current challenges in women's health, as well as opportunities for us to take action locally and internationally to improve the quality of life for 'half the sky.'
