UTLA is holding Wellness Wednesdays as part of the ‘Summer of Resistance’ — a movement bringing together community, labor, and faith organizations to demand an end to the immigration deportation raids, an end to the federal military occupation of Los Angeles, and to demand that local law enforcement stop aiding immigration enforcement.
Join UTLA at Placita Olvera throughout the day, from 9 AM to 7 PM, where we will be making one thousand tissue paper marigolds to represent our beloved community members who have been kidnapped by ICE and the families impacted by family separation.
UTLA will do this EVERY Wellness Wednesday (currently up to July 9) during the Summer of Resistance, along with other activities.
