“This event is a direct response to the ongoing and most recent state-sanctioned public executions of community members Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretii, and the ongoing state-sanctioned kidnappings of immigrants across the US by ICE.”
– Casita De La Noche
Just before the microphone drops, Who Is Your Neighborhood will be tabling at this event—including with a brand new banner—providing resources for attendees to strengthen their own neighborhood defense of our communities across Los Angeles. If you’re unable to make the event but would still like to show your support, you can always help raise funds for our Vendor Buyout campaign here.

On Saturday, January 3rd the U.S.’s unprovoked attack on Venezuela cost at least 40 people their lives and led to the unwarranted, illegal kidnapping of the acting president, Nicolas Maduro. If this becomes the new norm of a new Monroe Doctrine, then no leader is safe, be they in Latin America, Africa, or the Middle East.
