On April 5th, hundreds of Long Beach community members came out to the People’s State of the City at First Congregational Church to hear how workers, families, and residents are taking a stand to fight for inclusion and justice in our city. Check out all the media from the event below and share it with your neighbors.
To keep the people power from the People’s State of the City going, we encourage you to organize your community using the hashtag #LBResist. The People’s State of the City is one conversation, but our movement against hate and exclusion is ongoing. We invite you to use this hashtag to share about how you and your community will resist and share information going forward about how people in Long Beach can take action.
