Protest Films

The best part about attending protests is seeing the creativity in the crowd. This emotional street performance of "Thoughts and Prayers" by grandson featuring kids from the West Los Angeles Children's Choir at the March for Our Lives was incredibly powerful. They made their way to the counter-protestors and drowned them out with love.

On 3/19/18, the city council of Los Alamitos, CA decided to enact an ordinance to exempt their city from CA’s new sanctuary state law. By doing so, they gave their city the ignoble title of the most racist city in CA. With her mom in the audience with tears running down her face, this girl spoke on behalf of decent people who value all members of our community. This is great parenting.

We need to keep talking about racism so more people wake up. Being racist doesn't just mean you use the n word. Our society is structured in a way that POC have less opportunities and have to work harder to get ahead - that is racism. Let's get out of our comfort zones and work on these issues. It will make us a better country.
