Whether planting trees, restoring public lands, or responding to natural disasters, they’re transforming their environment—and their own lives.
A curfew — and faith leaders’ calls — quiet the night
Amid the violent raids by masked federal agents attacking our immigrant neighbors, LA Voice organized a prayer vigil on June 10th. Faith leaders from across LA County addressed a crowd of over 2,000 people, offering a message of nonviolence and solidarity with our immigrant loved ones. The Los Angeles Times covered the vigil, and quoted several LA Voice spiritual leaders: IKAR’s Rabbi Sharon Brous and McCarty Memorial Church’s Rev. Eddie Anderson. The two called for solidarity and peaceful resistance to the raids impacting our immigrant community and urged law enforcement not to continue escalating tensions in the streets of Downtown LA.
The vigil came as a response to the attacks on Los Angeles by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), who forced hundreds of their masked federal agents into Los Angeles County, bringing brutal violence and sowing fear among our most vulnerable, trampling our Constitutional rights in the process.
The Trump Administration is spending billions on sending masked agents to abduct parents from their jobs, beat up elders and teenagers, and arrest U.S. citizens simply because they’re Brown, instead of what all Americans really need: healthcare, access to clean water and healthy food, and a sacred space to call home.
