The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), in collaboration with members of the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network (LARRN), including Pilipino Workers Center of Southern California, CARECEN-LA, CLUE-LA, and other community partners, held a special Community Power Forum on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
The occasion marked one year since the militarized and inhumane immigration raids impacted communities across Los Angeles. Members of LARRN came together to reflect on the challenges our communities have faced, honor the resilience and leadership of impacted families, and recommit ourselves to the work ahead.
The Theme was Los Angeles, Más Fuertes Que Ayer / Los Angeles, Stronger Than Yesterday: Resistance, Reflection, and Rededication to Justice One Year After the Militarization and Inhumane Immigration Crackdown in Los Angeles.
The program featured personal testimonies from impacted community members, reflections from faith leaders, presentations from partner organizations and elected officials, as well as poetry, video, and artwork highlighting our collective journey over the past year.
