places in occupied Kizh/Tongva, Tataviam, Chumash Land (aka Los Angeles region)

Skid Row neighborhood. Culturally: Black /African diasporan neighborhood with significant Latine, East Asian and White/ North West European presence; culturally and historically rooted as part of Black LA; has many immigrants. Economically: working class neighborhood; vast majority of Skid Row residents live on low or extremely low income, are part of the working class poor. Skid Row has a very large number of unhoused residents, and is threatened by forced expulsion* of residents, and erasure.
Stereotyping of Skid Row neighborhood in the mainstream follows the capitalist anti-poor, white supremacist anti-Black, patriarchal misogynist, and ableist pathologizing prisms, in line with foundational politics of u.s. empire.

Glendale: city with a large Armenian diaspora, one of several immigrant working class communities (Mexican and Latino/e/x, Philipino/e/x, Korean etc) threatened by erasure.

ALSO, rooting ourselves in the critical importance of making local to global connections:
Protecting Against ICE in LA (bit.ly/m/UdB) , Resources/Actions for FreePa/estine, a solidarity rooted in united working class, aligned with disability justice, unhoused & housed tenant power building, abolitionist, feminist, queer & trans, periphery & Global South led liberation work, frm Black LA’s Skid Row neighborhood to Armenian Artsakh, to Indigenous orgs (Red Nation is a good start) for #LandBack in u.s. empire and across our planet
