The event’s producer and coordinator Molly Shalgos reflects on The Goonies connection to RAICES and the importance of continuing to pay attention to the current state of affairs:

“The footage coming from the border over the last few months is sickening. It’s not just that it’s heart-wrenching; it is a helpless sort of rage, the rage that comes from knowing you cannot drive down to Texas and forcibly hurl your body against the fences. You can’t crash into those cages and scoop every child into your arms and swing to the rescue. There is no magic wand to wave that will undo the damage that’s been done. But that does not absolve us from the responsibility of trying.

That’s The Goonies in a nutshell: we keep fighting even when it seems like a done deal – a home in foreclosure, the papers all but signed. RAICES has been on the front lines of this humanitarian crises from the beginning. They haven’t stopped. They won’t stop, but they need our support – now more than ever, in these days when every week in the news cycle brings something worse than the last. They need us to keep paying attention.”

Pentatonix Are: Pitch Perfect 2

PTX: Their Pitch Is Perfect, 2
I guess the first Pitch Perfect was a hit, well that's cool because Entertain Me favorites, Pentatonix aka PTX are now in the sequel! Alright all you PTX fans raise your lighters in the dark! Oh and it's called Pitch Perfect 2, the best surprise is no surprise. 
Pentatonix, in case you have been living under a rock are the five-person ensemble that rose to fame after winning the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off, will play a rival group to the Barden Bellas, the collegiate acappella singers at the center of the sequel, hitting theaters in 2015
Tell me more, tell me more, like do you have a falsetto? “We’re wearing some pretty interesting things,” teases PTX's Scott Hoying. “You can definitely tell it’s the five of us, but what we’re wearing and who we’re portraying is definitely not Pentatonix.” 
Pitch Perfect 2 finds the original BellasAnna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, and others—returning for another year at Barden University, where they’re ushering a new crew of members into the national-winning group. Expect the five members of Pentatonix to offer threatening competition to the Bellas’ well-oiled machine.
