Multi-faith multi-racial nonprofit organizing across Los Angeles County communities for dignity, equity & abundance for all. Member of PICO California and Faith in Action
Today we honor our ancestors who struggled for the freedoms we enjoy, defend, imagine, and fight for today. Today we celebrate our leaders, staff, and clergy who courageously join that struggle today.
Let's expand our imaginations beyond the local to the broadest space of the global Church. Across these events led by Fr. Mattia, we will both place our work for the dignified and abundant thriving of our local communities alongside his vision of popular movements happening all around the world.
In light of recent events we reignite our invitation to step into your courage and empower yourself with a free community training in collective resistance and democracy defense.
Still feeling so blown away by the energy, joy, and hope from our SFV Faith Votes Assembly! Join the movement of faith communities across all faiths, races, and places in LA County to vote for policies that provide more equity and abundance for all via the link in the bio!
Eid Mubarak to all of our Muslim family! May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and fill our hearts with peace, mercy, and nearness to Him.
