What happens in Washington doesn’t stay there — it reaches all the way into San Diego’s labs, hospitals, and classrooms. Proposed federal cuts to medical research threaten the life-changing work happening right here in our community. From childhood cancer breakthroughs to ensuring diverse voices shape the future of medicine, local researchers are at risk of losing the support they need to keep pushing science forward. Join the Prebys Foundation and the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network to hear directly from San Diego scientists and advocates who are stepping up to explain what these cuts really mean — for our families, our health, and our future. But this isn’t just about what’s at stake. It’s about what we can do together. After the panel, you’ll learn simple, meaningful ways to take action. Because once we understand the impact, we can help change the outcome. Will you join us in standing up for science and the people it serves?

This Disability Pride Month, join interdisciplinary artist duo Sensory Dimensions (Casey Hall-Landers & Elicia Neo) for the premiere of "My Body's Wake," a FREE multimedia experience at the City Heights Performance Annex. Through a visceral blend of body painting, live improvisational dance and violin, projection, and generative sound, "My Body's Wake" navigates the emotional terrains of grief, isolation, anger, and care - rooted in the artists' experience with chronic pain and dynamic disability. Sensory Dimensions depicts the experiences of disabled people with chronic illness and pain by immersing audiences in multi-sensory environments using a diverse range of artistic modalities to create accessible live art events. Founded by interdisciplinary dancer Casey Hall-Landers and multimedia violinist Elicia Neo through the Berklee NYC Masters program in Creative Media and Technology, the duo is fueled by a passion to create safe and welcoming spaces for all. Sensory Dimensions explores and recontextualizes pain through sensory and artistic pathways, using nature as a mirror to understand our bodies and integrating accessible design into their creative work. Casey and Elicia aim to raise awareness of invisible disabilities and chronic illness. Join us at the City Heights Performance Annex for this FREE performance you don't want to miss!
