Proyecto Vecindad political art workshop! ✊🏽
Join us this Friday for a special Alivio Open Mic! All brujas and chingonas are welcome! Event description by Proyecto Vecindad’s own Xitlalic Guijosa-Osuna:
“Womxn are chingonas y brujas de nacimiento. This space is dedicated to all the sisters that have always wanted to share word, song, art and medicine with out being brutally criticized, cat called, disrespected, and humiliated. Open Mic spaces are notorious for not holding space for womxn when it comes to sharing the mic. So this night will be for womxm by womxn. Why Bruja? Womxn that often speak up, create change, create art, live life on their own term are often called Bruja! Bruja because she does not fit the status quo that so many think womxn should live by. Bruja because she takes time to love herself. Bruja because she believes in herself. Why Chingona? Chingona because from the very minute we are giving our identity of muxer, womxn, girl, she, her, we have to fight. We are challenged form day one to survive this world, to constantly prove our worth with out them understanding that we are pure magic.”
FREE CONCERT IN BELL!

Proyecto Vecindad and Somos SELA volunteers at Bandini Park this weekend in support of Clitoral Mass LA! Please visit our website for information on our ongoing projects: http://proyectovecindad.wixsite.com/southeastlosangeles/mission
The Somos SELA/We Are SELA narrative and photography project went to Bandini Park this weekend to support the Ovarian Psycos Clitoral Mass LA ride!
Somos SELA: Art Installation and Narrative Project August 6th, 11:30A-1:30P at Bandini Park, (4725 Astor Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90040) As part of Proyecto Vecindad's work to empower our SELA communities, we realize that the direct experiences of our neighbors are often ignored. The little information that highlights the Southeast is often filled with negative scandals and is published by people who are not familiar with our Southeast L.A. experiences. WE ARE SELA is an intent to create a counter narrative to this reality. Come and join us for another sessions of awesome story telling or simply come take a picture in front of our mobile community mural. Proyecto Vecindad and East Yard Communities for Environmental Justice will also be providing information about the work we are doing in the community and how you can join our organizing efforts!
They always trying to tell us what to do and how to say it. It was no different in Huntington Park.

SELA's got a great history in activism and commUNITY power. Here you see demonstrators in 1996 hold up signs to protest Proposition 187 and other immigration policies, outside City Hall in Huntington Park where Gov. Pete Wilson was speaking.

This is a clipping from the Los Angeles Sentinel, an African American newspaper founded in 1934 by Col. Leon H. Washington. Look at the violent response this man had to an African American family moving into the neighborhood in Lynwood. Documenting #SELAhistory also means discussing racism in the Southeast. We must talk about this, as racism is not a thing of the past.

Lucy & Mario stopped by the Proyecto Vecindad booth at cicLAvia to have their picture taken. Mario shared with us his thoughts on the event taking place in the Southeast.
(English) What is your take on the whole cicLAvia event?
Mario: It brings everybody together. People from different cities that come here kind of get a different taste of what is is to be on this side. You got to remember that people here don’t know what is is to be on the south...
(Spanish) Que piensas de el evento cicLAvia?
Mario: Reúne a todos. Personas de diferentes ciudades que vienen aquí consiguen un gusto de lo que es estar de este lado de la ciudad.
