Groove with the LBF team 💃🏿💃🏾💃🏽

Everyone deserves to belong in and contribute to a community rooted in love, joy, and justice–regardless of our histories, status, and differences. 

When we come together in solidarity and celebration, we can take care of one another and weather any challenge that comes our way. Working towards racial, spatial, economic, and education justice is not easy, and no one should have to do it alone.

No matter the circumstances, we won’t stop fighting for our values and celebrating our existence. Building community knowledge, leadership, and power requires each of us to move and groove together–we will show up for each other and make room for collective joy and liberation. 

Long Beach Forward has continued to groove forward because of support from people like you. In the past year alone, we have:

• 🎶 Organized low-income, BIPOC, queer, undocumented, and multigenerational communities to win equitable rules and laws on affordable housing, land use, economic justice, immigrant rights, and public education 💃🏾
• 🎶 Trained, mentored, and coached young people, parents, and emerging activists on the skills and knowledge needed to make social change a reality 💃🏾
• 🎶 Empowered people to learn about civic and educational rights, healthy parenting skills, and holistic mental health and wellbeing while building community and belonging 💃🏾
• 🎶 Strengthened grassroots organizing projects, community gatherings, and mutual aid efforts with the resources, equipment, and relationships needed to be successful 💃🏾

Your contribution to Long Beach Forward gives our people, projects, and campaigns the creativity and power to keep moving Long Beach forward. Together, we can make Long Beach a city where everyone is safe, connected, and powerful!
