Community Screening: “13th” | Abolition Day Recognition

In recognition of Abolition Day, the Orange County Office of Civil Rights & Civic Life invites you to a community screening of Ava DuVernay’s powerful documentary “13th.”

The film traces the legacy of the 13th Amendment’s exception clause and its lasting impact on race, justice, and mass incarceration in the United States. Following the screening, we’ll share space for a facilitated community conversation to reflect on these themes together.

✓ Full screening of “13th” (100 minutes)
✓ Facilitated community discussion
✓ Light refreshments
✓ Space for community connection and dialogue

This free event is open to all community members. Whether you’re familiar with the documentary or watching it for the first time, you are welcome to join us.
