50,000 #AsianAmericans were affected by the 2025 #LA wildfires. Now, many are also living in fear of ICE, leading to loss of income & rent insecurity. Supervisor Lindsey Horvath is bringing forward a motion to distribute millions in rent relief — and we need your solidarity for immigrant families. ⬇️

We've found that healing, together, as a community is particularly transformative for Asian Americans ⬇️ Because when we see healing as a collective action versus individual, we allow ourselves to be supported and to offer our support to others. 💙

Last week, ICE terrorized Little Tokyo, the same place where, after WW2, hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans were rounded up and placed in internment camps. This is unacceptable. We hold the power to resist, reject, & refuse the suppression being enacted upon us. Join us this Saturday.

I saw two versions of America in LA’s Little Tokyo yesterday. In the Democracy Center at the Japanese Am. Nat’l Museum, I watched CA leaders announce plans to fight authoritarianism. Outside were heavily armed ICE agents—a Trump regime stunt designed to terrorize immigrant Angelenos & stifle dissent
Federal agents conduct operation in Little Tokyo as Newsom announced redistricting plans
Federal agents conducted the operation outside the venue where Gov. Gavin Newsom held a news conference on redistricting in California.
