A five-alarm fire broke out in the early morning on January 6 in a rent-stabilized building on Madison Street between Onderdonk Ave and Seneca Ave. The fire impacted four buildings total and left 26 or more families displaced, some who were injured or lost beloved pets. Thankfully there were no fatalities and it was reported that there were 271 emergency responders at the scene.
Join us at Low Cinema — seven blocks away from the site of the fire — to support the displaced families by bonding over a mystery New York movie hand-picked by New Yorker staff writer Rachel Syme, who will introduce the screening. Representatives of the Ridgewood Tenants Union will also be present to share resources.
This is a sliding-scale ticketed event. All box-office proceeds will be divided evenly between ten (10) GoFundMe campaigns set up by families to support their own efforts to get back on their feet.
Rachel Syme has covered Hollywood, television, literature, and other cultural subjects for The New Yorker since 2012, profiling heavy hitters like Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Jessica Parker, Sofia Coppola, Nora Ephron, Jamie Lee Curtis, Parker Posey, Barbra Streisand, Kirsten Dunst, and Cynthia Nixon. She is a regular contributor to the magazine’s On and Off the Avenue column.
Ridgewood Tenants Union is an all-volunteer and tenant-led anti-gentrification group whose mission is to grow the power of tenants in Ridgewood to collectively fight displacement. They hold know-your-rights trainings and monthly tenant assemblies, create neighborhood-wide campaigns, and work in coalition with other housing groups in NYC.
All sales are final; no refunds or exchanges. Five minutes after the listed showtime, any unused tickets will be considered no-shows and released to standby customers.
