Freedom shouldn't have a waitlist. 🚫⏳

We raise our voice for every young person held in LA Juvenile Hall.

They deserve community based alternatives and resources that build them up NOT a system that tears them down!

#StopCDCRSexualAbuse

This Cesar Chavez Day, let's remember that the people's liberation cannot and was not done by one person or one organization alone!❤️

When we put our voices together, we cannot be ignored.

#cesarchavez day #cesarchavez #workersrights #workersunion #community

Behind every celebrated leader is a village of powerful voices!

Cesar Chavez became an honorary figure by amplifying the rights of workers and standing on the foundational work of local community leaders like Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, & Philip Vera Cruz!

#CesarChavezDay

Day after day, we dismantle the binary! 💥

To all our trans and nonbinary siblings, we acknowledge your presence, embrace you, and uplift you. ❤️

Today, and every day, we honor the worldwide celebration of Transgender Day of Visibility!

#InternationalTransDayofVisibility

This #WHM , we honor and highlight the achievements of Ivory Nicole Smith.

A black queen & revolutionary trans woman who left a mark on the community through her fierce leadership and devoted activism.

Ivory's legacy and spirit will always live with us. 🙏

As system impacted folks, our freedom has never simply been given to us!

We understand that in order to thrive in liberation, we MUST advocate for our needs!
