‼️CALL OF ACTION‼️

As we approach Marcela’s 1-year anniversary, we invite you to stand with us and March for Marcela.

Swipe to learn how you can support, get involved, and make a difference in our community.

Every share spreads awareness. Every comment amplifies our message. Every person who shows up strengthens this movement.

Please like, comment, share, and join us. Together, we march for Marcela. Together, we march for change. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who attended our Anti-Gentrification Forum and made our event a night to remember.

We had a packed house full of ideas and hope for the future. Gentrification is not inevitable. We can fight back to protect our right to build strong and rooted communities.

Thank you! Stay tuned for more events and opportunities to build power together. by @pilsenalliance

Yesterday at Santa de la 18, we came together as a community. Kids received gifts, took photos with Santa, built and shared whistle packets, decorated ornaments, and helped grow a food collection for our neighbors.
Thank you to everyone who showed up with love, time, and care. This is what it looks like when we choose each other.
This was more than a holiday celebration. It was groundwork. A reminder that every child we meet should be treated as our own, protected, respected, and nurtured as the future leaders of our communities.
When we build together, we build peace. When we care collectively, no one is invisible and everyone is welcomed here.

Ayer en Santa de la 18, nos reunimos como comunidad. Las niñas y los niños recibieron regalos, se tomaron fotos con Santa, armaron y compartieron paquetes de silbatos, decoraron esferas y ayudaron a crecer una colecta de alimentos para nuestras y nuestros vecinos.
Gracias a todas las personas que llegaron con amor, tiempo y cuidado. Así se ve cuando nos elegimos entre nosotros.
Esto fue más que una celebración navideña. Fue trabajo de base. Un recordatorio de que cada niña y niño que conocemos debe ser tratado como propio, protegido, respetado y acompañado como el futuro líder de nuestras comunidades.
Cuando construimos juntos, construimos paz. Cuando cuidamos de manera colectiva, nadie es invisible y todos somos bienvenidos aquí. taken in Pilsen, Chicago by @pilsenalliance
