We All We Got
February 28, 2022
It has been almost two months since the tragic Bronx fire where we lost seventeen people and experienced trauma brought on by city and landlords’ negligence.
July 31, 2021
Caravan starts at Leimert Park Plaza, stops at the Downtown Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center, ends at the San Diego Otay Mesa Detention Center. Refreshments provided.
Given the current administration’s exclusionary stance on incoming migrants and their particular targeting of Black migrants, we must continue being loud against rampant anti-Black and anti-immigrant rhetoric and policies! Immigrants are welcome here!
Can we count on you to join us in support of Black immigrants?
