We are saddened and disheartened by the events happening on our ancestral homelands.

Tovaangar means “the world” in our ancestral language and we recognize how this place has now become home and a place of refuge for many migrant communities from around the world.

Whether genocide happened 500 years ago or it is occurring in modern times, we know that our communities are stronger when we align to fight for what is right in our country.

The time to unite is now. The most vulnerable communities are the backbone of Los Angeles

Though we are sovereign peoples with deep historical ties to this land, we recognize the striking similarities between our lived experiences and those of undocumented individuals who now face systemic surveillance, detention, and displacement.

Los Angeles has already faced so much devastation since the beginning of this year and what our communities need more than ever right now are support and healing. If you are protesting, be safe. If you can’t help in person, speak up for what’s right. If you are an ally and have a disposable income, please support the various organizations and campaigns helping those who have been detained.

We cannot stay silent. We cannot give in to this unlawful oppression.
