Now more than ever, mutual aid is important. We will continue organizing the Brake Light Fix Block Party program as our communities are targeted. This latest brake light run also brought in @barber_gurus , who gave out free haircuts all for the love. We serviced 20 vehicles, in an ongoing effort to protect our neighbors from aggressive police traffic stops. And we helped provide more than 1,000 community members with groceries, hot lunches and household family supplies. We got us! 🎥: @nothisisnttania taken in South La Cafe by @teamedifye
