The #LCLA would like to wish everyone a Happy Latino Heritage Month!!! We celebrate our ancestors for their strength, wisdom, unconditional love, & the immense sacralizes they made to liberate our people from colonial settlers. We are deeply grateful for the spirit of resiliency we have inherited from them and continue to exhibit as justice warriors fighting to achieve social justice and equity. This year we will honor Latino Heritage Month by spotlighting the intergenerational environmental justice movement (IEJ). Over the next 5 weeks we will be engaging in a public discourse on the intergenerational environmental justice issues impacting BIPOC communities and how we can achieve healthy, sustainable, and vital communities where all can live and thrive. Stay tuned for #whatiswednesdays where we will take a deeper dive into IEJ issues, #flashbackfirdays when we will unlock the LCLA bolt, and #shoutoutsaturdays as we acknowledge the amazing work other organizations are doing to uplift our people. #latinoheritagemonth #latinxpower #latinopride #LearnChallengeLead #DisruptInequities #latinocoalitionla

Election Day is HERE! Don't forget to VOTE NO to Gov. Newsom Recall ☐ Polls & drop off boxes close at 8pm. All mail in ballots must be postmarked 9/14/21 The future of CA is at stake in this recall election. This election is much bigger than simply keeping Gov. Newsome in office. Our CA values are being attacked by major donors to ex-President Trump and other far right groups who have been organizing since President Biden won in 2020 to suppress the rights and silence the voices of BIPOC voters.   17 states including AZ, Georgia, & Texas have passed voter suppression laws 15 states have passed anti-abortion laws including SB8 in Texas 17 states have enacted anti-LBGTQ bills including blocking access to medical care for trans youth 9 states have banned state enforcement of federal gun safety laws   We CANNOT assume that because CA is a blue state now it will be after this election...WE MUST TURN OUT & VOTE to keep Cali Blue and protect the rights of BIPOC, women, immigrants, LGBTQ+, and our kids 🗳️ ✊🏾 #voteNoonrecall #tuvotoestuvoz #keepcaliblue

We are so excited to have met Senator Alex Padilla @senalexpadilla, California's first Latino Senator, this past weekend.  Senator Padilla spoke about some of California's most pressing issues and though daunting, we at #LCLA are excited to support him and ensure that Los Angeles and the state's most marginalized communities continue to be at the fore-front of the policy making process.  Thank you to our incredible LCLA Board Treasurer, Edmundo Diaz @mundy18, for representing us and advocating on behalf of our BIPOC communities.  #representationmatters #poderlatino #sísepuede
