Disappeared In America – Dia de los Muertos Celebration & Vigil
JOIN us as we heighten our weekly Home Depot protest/boycott into a Dia de los Muertos community event with face painting, music by local NDLON’s @losjornalerosdelnorte , street vendors, and an Ofrenda/Altar honoring those whose lives have been cut short due to the kidnappings. We will finish the day with a candlelight vigil from 6-7pm.
We will be Fundraising for the day laborers at this location!
We will be gathering for activities at Confluence Plaza, by the roundabout behind the back of Home Depot’s parking lot. We are partnering with other local groups to activate this historical center of Los Angeles and the early location of Tongvan and Gabrielino villages. Also a fantastic public artwork ‘Faces of Elysian Valley’ by local attist Freyja Bardall.
Come for a celebration of life, stating clearly that we will not stand by as families are disappeared, rights are dismantled, and democracy itself is eroded.
The Disappeared in America Weekend of Action is a nationwide mobilization hosted by Public Citizen, National Day Laborers Organizing Network (NDLON), The Workers Circle and Detention Watch Network, to defend our shared values of dignity, freedom, and justice for all. Together, we’ll shine a light on the human toll of detention and demand an end to corporate and government complicity in this cruelty.
