Thank you so much to White Sands La Jolla for hosting us for a performance on Saturday! It was a blast to share excerpts from our 20th anniversary show with the community. Intergenerational exchanges like this one are essential for fostering cross-generational compassion and mutual respect.

We applaud Governor Gavin Newsom & the CA State Legislature for creating the Stop the Hate program in 2021. With hate rising and anti-hate work losing federal funding, Stop the Hate is the main protection for our diverse communities and helps keep California a place where all people can still belong and feel safe.
