“The more time you spend doing something, whatever it is possible for you to do in your space in the world, the less exhausted you are by the onslaught of information that really wins when it can convince you that the only thing you can do is watch what is happening to you.” Tressie McMillan Cottom, Settle In with PBS News, Jan 20, 2026, https://youtu.be/QBu4AJ75dZA
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, looking for ways to do *something* in Los Angeles, and/or just want to be around a lot of caring and hopeful people, I invite you to join me this Thursday, May 7, 2026, for my org’s Story of Us LA event.
This gathering brings together voices from across Los Angeles, 11 leaders who are a part of our Systems Change Fellowship, whose orgs are tackling the root causes of Los Angeles’ most pressing social problems in order to permanently improve the lives of the people most impacted by those issues.
This cohort covers a wide range of issues and seeks to transform the system often by policy change, power building, community organizing, and campaigns to shift how we think about the issue.
At Story of Us LA, these 11 leaders will take the stage and share the personal journeys behind their work to transform our communities.
And, if you join us, perhaps you’ll find something to do.
I promise it will be a joyful and warm event.
Click through the slides to learn a little bit about the 11 organizations. From reimagining public education and advancing justice reform to championing resource redistribution and grief care, each story shines a light on what it takes to build a more just and liberated Los Angeles.
Hope to see some of you there. I’ll be working the registration/check-in area, say hi!

Time: 4pm to 7pm [doors open 3:45pm, program starts at 4:30pm]
Location: Japanese American Cultural and Community Center, 244 San Pedro St, Los Angeles, CA 90012 (DTLA)
