Good morning! Getting an early start on today's news.

In other news: Film screenings tonight

Like Heaven Without God, directed by Berkeley filmmaker Luca Capponi, follows residents living in a parking lot near the Berkeley Marina as they navigate homelessness, uncertainty and the relationships they've built with one another.

It screens tonight in Berkeley.

Plus: Minnesota Neighbors, a new documentary from the producers of Not In Our Town, tells the story of ordinary people who came together to protect and support their immigrant neighbors during a massive federal immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

NB: The Minnesota Neighbors screening is free but tickets are required, with a limited supply remaining.

Through stories of courage, compassion, peaceful resistance and mutual aid, the film offers a message of hope in a dark time, showing how communities can come together in the face of fear and injustice.

From musicians performing in the streets to elderly women doing laundry for immigrant families afraid to leave home, the documentary celebrates the power of everyday people to make a difference.

The film is also being shared as part of United Against Hate Week, a national effort to bring communities together to stand against hate, discrimination and intolerance. (Berkeley is participating.)
