    Arts, Advocacy, and Intergenerational Healing for Eastside Students & Families

    In an attempt to incorporate additional holistic supports into its youth academic programming for the Eastside’s highest-need students, InnerCity Struggle will explore best practices for implementation of Monthly Membership Assemblies, titled Atardeceres con la Lucha (Sunsets at ICS), with a special focus on the arts as a strategy for healing, strengthening, and unifying its intergenerational base as a driving force for powering organizational campaigns rooted in educational equity and school and community safety.

    Power + Permanence for LA's Eastside

    In March 2023, Los Angeles's emergency Covid-19 renter protections officially ended. As a result, struggling residents like those on LA's Eastside who are among those worst-impacted by the economic blows of the pandemic are now faced with fresh threats of eviction. Through youth and community-led advocacy at the City and County, InnerCity Struggle (ICS) will work urgently to institutionalize a permanent Tenant Bill of Rights (TBoR) in support of all LA's low-income renters to have the choice to remain where they are already at home.
