This is our third weekly community gathering, held every Thursday at 8 pm. We'll talk about how immigration raids affect people's feelings and mental health, and we'll also learn simple ways to support each other emotionally. Our group focuses on really listening, recognizing each other's challenges, and sharing hope through caring for one another. Together, we'll create promises to support our community with love and strength, using our shared skills and passion to stand together and take meaningful action. We’re excited to build this caring community with you, bringing hope and strength to our shared future

Please join us Thursday evening 6/26/2025 from 8-9:30pm PST. We invite you to participate in a supportive sanctuary dedicated to healing and emotional resilience in the face of systemic violence devastating Los Angeles.
Behind the walls of brutal immigration raids, a merciless force tears through the very fabric of our communities—spreading fear, pain, and deep despair. Yet, even in these harrowing moments, we must hold onto the unwavering courage of those who came before us—brave social activists whose sacrifices and relentless pursuit of justice have lit the path toward hope and transformation.
In standing in solidarity with immigrant communities and recognizing the profound connection between social justice, community healing, and collective strength, we come together to create a safe, compassionate space where voices are heard, and spirits are uplifted.
Everyone is welcome—regardless of background—to share in emotional support, open their hearts, and connect through shared experiences. Our group will emphasize genuine listening, witnessing each other's struggles, and inspiring hope through mutual care. Together, we will craft community commitments rooted in love and resilience, harnessing our collective talents and passion to sustain meaningful solidarity and action.We look forward to building this supportive community with you, weaving strength and hope into the fabric of our collective future.
