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.

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.

*$260 of $393 raised. Jasper still needs $133.* We sadly need to reschedule because Jasper is sick. We will need to reschedule for June 27 from 1-3pm. Those who already donated will have access to the rescheduled session in person and virtually. Please DM if you have questions.

Jasper was already in need of mutual aid and now it has become urgent. Due to these circumstances, Jasper will receive 100% of the funds we’ve raised so far and we encourage folks that are financially stable to donate to them. They need $80 to cover the rest of their rent and an additional $313 for bills. Total is $393. So far, through paid RSVPs, we’ve raised $85. Jasper needs $308 more to meet their needs.

To donate, send funds to @fatvegan on Venmo and add note “Jasper ✨” DM if you want to donate through a different app.

Our pop-up gallery, Reimagining Connection, at @movelbforward is coming to a close on June 6, and we warmly invite you to join us for our closing ceremony from 12pm to 3pm. Just like our opening night, we’ll have artist tables, community org tables, delicious food, and music.

If you’re part of a community organization in Long Beach, we would love to hear from you and invite you to participate by reserving a table at this gathering. Grassroots groups are especially encouraged and centered.

Additionally, in collaboration with @longbeachswaps, we’re also hosting a gender-affirming clothing swap. We’re collecting clothes to help ensure you feel confident and authentic in your own skin. Please send @queerscoutslb a DM if you’d like to donate. We’ll be accepting clothing donations in the coming weeks, and please keep in mind that there is a limit to the number of items we can take on the day of the event.

Please note that we are not accepting used undergarments, with the exception of like-new, lightly used binders and bras. If you have a lot of clothing you’d like to donate, reaching out in advance will help us accommodate everyone.

As a part of caring for our community, masks are required and will be provided if needed. We require high-filtration masks such as kf94, kn95, or n95. Air purifiers will be provided courtesy of @movelbfoward

Things have felt heavy in the heart lately, so I'm very much looking forward to returning to my body and breath and rhythm this Wednesday with y'all 🩷

If you're looking to show your body gratitude and love and practice taking up space unapologetically, check out Beyond Burlesque- an intro level class where we explore elements of burlesque and performance to unravel shame around sensual self expression.

Whether you are new to dance, wanting to deepen your practice, or try something different, this class is open to all bodies, genders/expressions, and skill levels.

Class is this Wednesday May 20th from 7-8:15
At @movelbforward
