As we remember the forced internment of over 120,000 Japanese-Americans into concentration camps during World War II, we are also reminded of those who were called by their faith to resist injustice.

We honor the many who have and continue to work towards a nation of equity and abundance for all.

Our hearts grieve the loss of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

We were honored by your life, Rev. Jackson. Your voice, passion, courage, faith, and love for all people has, does, and will continue to light the candles in our hearts and those to come.

We wish all of our Muslim family a blessed Ramadan, a meaningful fast, and many blessings this month and always!

TOMORROW: Join us for this Ash Wednesday service in prayer and visible nonviolent public witness to affirm the dignity of every human person and call for policies that keep families together. Let us begin the holy season of Lent responding not in isolation, but together in hope.

Happy Valentine's Day! Back by popular demand, it's the second annual LA Voice Valentine's cards! Send them to your loved ones, your fellow leaders, and your friends! We love you, and together we'll build an LA County with equity and abundance for all.

For the first time, there’s a real path toward change and accountability. We hold those we lost in our hearts as we keep moving forward. This win belongs to every survivor who organized and refused to be silenced.

Why did nearly every death occur west of Lake — the historical redlining line? Why were evacuation alerts delayed by nine hours? These are the questions this investigation must confront.

Today, AG Rob Bonta announced a civil rights investigation into LA County’s response to the Eaton Fire — the most significant step yet toward answers and accountability.

This is a win for all fire survivors, especially for the Black community in West Altadena. Why was only one fire truck sent?

Program Manager John Oh, Program Associate Maura Chen, Organizers Yvonne Figueroa and Nona Pittman, Bishop Dottie Escobedo-Frank, Rev. Zachary Hoover and the congregation of Inglewood First UMC for seeing this mighty work through to this moment.

With utmost respect and gratitude, we would like to thank Rev. Victor Cyrus-Franklin, Rev. Neema Cyrus-Franklin, Rev. Dr. Jennifer Oliver, Assemblymember Tina McKinnor, Mayor James T. Butts,

This was the work of many hands over 7 long years and is a landmark achievement in our Faith in Housing project, the 121 year history of this church, the City of Inglewood, and housing in LA County. We celebrated with all of our hearts from tears to laughter, in prayer, song, dance, and fellowship.

Over the weekend we celebrated history in the making: a groundbreaking on the development of an Affordable Housing project on Black-owned church land in Los Angeles County at Inglewood First UMC.

Through the Dena Rise Up Coalition, survivors of the Eaton Wildfires have been building power, joining with disaster survivors across the country to demand that the current administration invest in a just and equitable restoration for survivors.

Funding for FEMA’s life-saving emergency relief, recovery, and response services must be separated from funding for ICE and DHS. Write your Congressmember TODAY to urge them to make FEMA an independent agency focused on helping disaster survivors:

We stand firm in our commitment to a just and equitable rebuild of Altadena—one where Black and Brown communities thrive.

We honor the 19 lives lost, and join our partners in calling on Attorney General Bonta's office to launch a comprehensive investigation into the emergency response efforts during the fire.

Disasters don't discriminate, but recovery does.

On this first anniversary of the Eaton Fire's devastation, we gather in faith to grieve, heal, organize, and rebuild together.
