Long Beach Forward

We’re witnessing unprecedented levels of repression and attacks on immigrants and activists, actions that have been intentionally made to instill fear and division within our communities. We can’t help but feel inspired and motivated by the resilience, courage, and unity shown by our neighbors and allies coming together. Everyone in Long Beach deserves the right to live and work safely regardless of immigration status. We remain committed to building and supporting a city rooted in justice, compassion, and liberation for all. #longbeach #communitypower

Thank you for speaking up! We know that our fight for fair, affordable, and inclusive housing is far from over. It will take all of us coming together across our differences as we have in the past if we want to make housing equitable in Long Beach and beyond.

U.S. Representative @reprobertgarcia robertgarcialb Robert Garcia must sign on to the Ceasefire Now Resolution (HR786) to demand an end to violence in Israel and occupied Palestine immediately! Together, we can build a world free from oppression based on othering and exclusion, that is conversely full of abundance, humanity, and love. By lifting our voices, we can make a difference.​​ Call to Action: 1) Scan our QR code or go to: bit.ly/garciasupportceasefire and demand Rep.
