Veintitres: Our Labor Saved Lives

Directed by: Djali Brown-Cepeda

This film documents the 2021 23-day hunger strike held by undocumented, excluded workers and allies alike whose fight led to New York State’s passing of the Excluded Workers Fund. The $2.1B fund allowed for excluded, undocumented workers to receive COVID relief, the first economic assistance package for undocumented, excluded workers of its kind in the United States.
