Out loud for Altadena

This event is dedicated to the communities in Altadena and Pasadena, and throughout LA, that have been displaced & affected by the industry-caused fires in the Eaton Valley.

"Altadena represented prosperity. It represented joy. It represented unity and Black excellence. And for that to all burn to pieces, it's just absolutely devastating," said Richard-Craven. "It's like, if a history book just lit on fire. This is a history that is deep... Altadena was long considered a haven for Black families who began settling there at the turn of the 20th century and continued trickling in as the years ensued. Some had escaped segregation in the South and took refuge in a place that did not subscribe to the racist criteria of the era for land ownership, an anomaly even in California." - CBS News

We acknowledge and respect the W̱SÁNEĆ and lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory we live on as uninvited guests. The Songhees, Esquimalt and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day, have stewarded this land since time immemorial. It is grave seriousness that we must observe the continued violence and harm of capitalism & colonialism, which have sought to disassociate Indigenous people from their unceded lands.
