"They picked the wrong city when they picked LA...the people united will never be divided." We're so thankful for our fearless spiritual leaders and grassroots community leaders who have been leading powerful multifaith prayer vigils in recent weeks for our community suffering under ICE raids.

Words on #AAPIHeritageMonth from our community organizer, Esther Kim: β€œAANHPI Heritage Month is not just a celebrationβ€”it's a reclamation. It is a reminder that our joy is political, our survival is resistance...not just to be seen, but to transform the world we’ve inherited.”

The resilience, strength, & persistence of those who came before me sustain my commitment to the work of lifting up the beauty and culture of our communities. These same ancestors push me forward courageously to β€˜re-member’ the AANHPI family & bring us together around those things we share.” (2/2)
