There are not enough words to express my gratitude toward Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I am rereleasing in her honor three films I've made over the last two decades about gender equity. One of them, UNSTOPPABLE, is now dedicated to her.
For those of you who are fellow members of the Jewish Tribe, it’s finally a new year. L’shana tova.
To a year that pushes us to strengthen our democracy and expand on the progress we have made,
Love,
Tiffany

|  Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness
With humor and irony, this 14-minute film explores the fight for reproductive choice in our country. It premiered at Sundance in 2003 and was updated it in 2013. I watched it last night and wish I didn't feel like it was still so relevant. Watch here.

This 20-minute film explores the 10,000 year history of women and power. It premiered right before the 2016 election and asks what it would take to get to a more equal representation in positions of power. Watch here.

| Covid-19 National Week of Mourning
| |
Rabbi Sydney Mintz is involved in two important projects to mourn those we've lost to Covid-19. Both are working to lift up the power of grief and mourning that every American is experiencing and transform it into action as the election approaches.
There are virtual vigils on 10/12, and on 10/19 a nationwide vigil which culminates in person at the White House in DC to bring the reality of what 200,000 deaths looks like.
Action Network is an organization started by Cleve Jones of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. Learn more here.
Mourning into Unity is a project of Reimagine, a nonprofit that facilitates conversation around death. Learn more here.

Ken and I finally found a show to watch to make us laugh after these pandemic days which are long and depleting. Pamela Adlon's Better Things is the perfect 30-minute show. And there are four seasons of it. That should last us a while;) You can watch on FX/Hulu here.
