For a decade I've interpreted war's impact as an artist and nonprofit professional using my experiences as a US Marine.

Before he was a Marine, Román Baca was a ballet dancer. Now he helps other veterans deal with their trauma — through dance. https://t.co/AuASaq0ocV

In Newsweek: "People are now talking about this "war" we're fighting against the pandemic and I think that idea sits in our wheelhouse at Exit12." - Roman Baca

Today at 1 p.m., the @NYCCouncil Committee on Veterans will hold an oversight hearing focused on connecting veterans with arts and cultural opportunities. Connecting veterans with these opportunities can enhance wellbeing, foster healing, and provide a sense of community.

[Romanfbaca @romanfbaca]

“No estimated time of arrival”. How is this even a response. You booked a trip. You have to be somewhere. We can’t help you. @AmtrakNECAlerts @Amtrak do better

Exit12 is nonprofit dance company founded by a Marine veteran & his wife. Like many veterans, he struggled with the transition into civilian life. Now, he holds workshops for other veterans with hopes that they’ll be able to express their emotions and heal through dance. @ABC7NY

[Joe Bello @NYMetroVets]

I’m so happy for @romanfbaca, Lisa, Adrienne & everyone at @exit12danceco! Some of my favorite people doing good things!

@NJTRANSIT @AirTrainNewark 4. It was absolute chaos until someone used the emergency phone to call the cops, who arrived shortly, and finally busses started showing up. Hundreds of people, anxious about missing flights with no recourse, were given no options and no information. Do better.

[Romanfbaca @romanfbaca]

Yesterday's experience at the disabled NJTransit AirTrain was like the hunger games. Three staff members were given no information and it was extremely unorganized and chaotic. (continued in reply ) @NJTRANSIT @AirTrainNewark

[Romanfbaca @romanfbaca]

@NJTRANSIT @AirTrainNewark 3. The AirTrain was disabled because of ice on the tracks and the staff (of 3) said busses were coming. People started going down to street level on their own, or convincing the staff to let them down to find it is a secure facility - no UBER.

[Romanfbaca @romanfbaca]

@NJTRANSIT @AirTrainNewark 2. On a normal business day, when leadership must have been working, hundreds of people were held at the top of the structure at the elevators with one staff member who told people not to go down the elevator. A line started to form but as people arrived it quickly dissolved.
