That people are facing multiple grievances, she said, now shows “it’s not sufficient to look at race alone or gender alone or sexuality alone but all those factors.” They intersect and “create unique vectors of oppression.”People at the intersections between the Latino community and immigrant communities “face attacks from all sides,” said Dee Tum-Monge, a board member for the Latinx History Project, the steering organization for Latinx Pride. World Pride is aiming “to create spaces focused around community care and political organizing while still celebrating our joy,” they say.

The focus, Tum-Monge said, is shifting away from just voting and federal action to work that attendees can do at local levels. Amid mounting threats to immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, Tum-Monge said organizers are particularly concerned about security and will be watching for international participants who may face obstacles traveling.Although official events are kicking off now, programs that have begun suggest how diverse activities will be. The scene last week was almost solemn as people walked along the National Mall in sight of the Capitol, reading messages on some of the hundreds of quilts made by transgender people from around the country.The “Freedom to Be” quilt project was there to raise awareness of the transgender community, which has been under fire from

The messages ranged from defiance to hopes for acceptance. “I hope there are days when you fall in love with being alive,” said one. And on another: “THERE’S A LAND THAT I SEE WHERE THE CHILDREN SHOULD BE FREE.”Abdool Corlette, head of brand for the American Civil Liberties Union and a co-creator of the project, said a message needed to be sent.

“We are seeing across the board an attempt to erase trans folks from all public life,” Corlette said. “And we knew that we need to take up space. We needed to memorialize people’s stories and do it in the literal backyard of the Capitol.”

Gillian Branstetter, his co-creator and communications strategist at the ACLU’s Women’s Project, said actions like the Republican president’s executive order that(“Perks of Being a Wallflower”) working off of a script by Liz Maccie, whom he is married to, and based on the true story of a New Yorker named Joe Scaravella (Vince Vaughn) who starts a Staten Island restaurant with Italian grandmothers as the chefs.

Joe has no business savvy or restaurant knowledge, just an idea after the loss of his own mother and grandmother. He just wants to pay tribute to the way that they always made him feel with their cooking in the kitchen. There’s a gauzy, sun soaked flashback to the neighborhood in the 1960s showing a young Joe watching his mother and grandmother make the Sunday sauce that’s so idealized, so full of smiles as substitute for character, it might as well be a Prego commercial.There is an obvious reverence for cultural predecessors like “Moonstruck” and “My Cousin Vinny” baked into “Nonnas,” though it can’t quite find the natural rhythm that might have made it work better. It whiplashes between big comedic swings (including a food fight between the feuding nonnas) and utter sincerity and it is in no rush to get anywhere fast.

But perhaps the greatest miscalculation is centering the story on Joe instead of the women. The nonnas are met where they are in life — a former nun (Shire), a hair salon owner (Sarandon), a retiree (Bracco) who’s estranged from her kids and a widow (Vaccaro) who needs to get out of the house. It seems like there was a missed opportunity to get to know their stories and recipes more. If food is love, give the audience a chance to fall in love with them through their favorite dishes. Instead, they bond not over food or new appreciation of one another’s heritage, but a makeover.Still, it’s worth noting that “Nonnas” is not nearly as gimmicky as it could have been. Vaughn is good in a more subdued role — the stereotypes-for-comedy’s-sake are left for his friends (
