      <image:title>Our Work - HEAL INTO ACTION</image:title>
      <image:caption>Although the international refugee crisis has mostly faded from the media, the reality on the ground for millions of refugees worldwide remains a crisis. In Greece, the refugee camps and communities are floundering in the face of diminishing resources as the number of refugee arrivals has surged, with people desperately seeking to make the trip before winter falls. Nearly 7000 refugees are crowded into camps in Lesvos that are meant to house 2500. Once viewed as a temporary entry point for refugees, Greece has now become a years-long stop on an indefinite journey. Our project Heal into Action builds on the previous work we have done in Greece. The integrated training we have developed creates a foundation of healing for refugee communities, as well as the frontline staff supporting them, to collectively process their experience and manage trauma, create narratives of their experience through storytelling and theatre, and develop advocacy skills to insert their stories and perspectives into policy discussions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Work - CENTRO DE LOS DERECHOS DEL MIGRANTE</image:title>
      <image:caption>LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT &amp; INTERSECTIONAL ORGANIZING Rhiza developed a two-day series of workshops for the Migrant Defense Committee of Centro de los Derechos del Migrante, an organization that “empowers Mexico-based migrant workers to defend and protect their rights as they move between their home communities in Mexico and their workplaces in the United States” through training, leadership development, litigation, and policy advocacy. The Committee is made up of community-based leaders in Mexico who are migrants and ex-migrants organizing and educating their fellow migrants to defend workers’ rights.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Work - SOCIAL JUSTICE MUSIC VIDEOS</image:title>
      <image:caption>Social justice music videos combine the contagious power of music with compelling visuals to expose injustice and inspire potential allies into action. In a workshop for the Echo Park Film Center, we shared case studies showing how such videos can prepare the ground for local organizing or turn a small campaign into a transnational sensation, bringing in key new allies that can shift the balance of power. Participants from traditionally media marginalized communities also shot and edited their own music videos.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Our Work - ABOVE AND BELOW THE GROUND</image:title>
      <image:caption>Above and Below the Ground tells the story of daring indigenous women activists and rock musicians who come together in the ongoing struggle against the Myitsone Dam and for environmental self-determination across their native Kachinland. Through investigation, protest, prayer, and music, they test the boundaries of tentative democratic reform in Northern Myanmar, and work to create a future in which native peoples have the right to care for and protect their own lands and natural resources.
