We extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who attended IN FOCUS, our photo exhibit fundraiser, to our hosts L34 Group, to Cakebread Cellars, and to the artists who graciously donated their fine art. Your support is essential.
This event brought our community together in a time of need. If you were unable to attend this weekend, you can enjoy the gallery until February 21, 2025, at 5818 N Figueroa Street in Highland Park. All sales proceeds from this exhibit help strengthen our disability rights advocacy in the Los Angeles area.
We are grateful to be in community with aligned, trusted partner organizations in Southern California to address the disproportionate short- and long-term impact of wildfires on people with disabilities. This event supported our litigation and advocacy efforts creating systemic change for people with disabilities and cancer and the direct services of the Disability Community Resource Center (DCRC), who served more than 800 people with immediate evacuation and response needs in the early hours of the wildfires.
We remain dedicated to centering the needs of people with disabilities as we move toward a more just and equitable recovery for Los Angeles.
