Announcement: In case it’s unclear, it’s FUCK ICE until the end of time. BLK Events LA is sharing resources in our Instagram stories for folks who are targeted by ICE and those who are protesting! The Source LA, Isaac G. Bryan, Mutual Aid LA, and PSL Los Angeles are great resources for updated information and activist + volunteer opportunities.

As with the LA Wildfires, please remember to fill your cup as you outpour your love for Los Angeles. Here are some of my favorite wellness organizations who consistently hold space for us to ground & center:

• Black Being LA — yoga, meditation, tai chi, mobility, massages & more

• Body Art Noire — yoga!

• WalkGood LA — yoga, run/walking clubs, sound baths, creative workshops & more

• The Tree Yoga Coop — yoga, sound baths & more

As WalkGood LA put it, longevity is important to any movement. We rest, we do NOT quit.

Hotwater Cornbread is rescheduling their Juneteenth Festival from Saturday 6/14 to Sunday 6/22 in light of the protests in DTLA.
