⏳ WE ARE LESS THAN 24 HOURS AWAY.
Tomorrow we come together for something bigger than an event—this is about healing, accountability, policy, and real community transformation.
Healing Our Blocks: CVIPI & Second Chance Month Symposium
🗓 Saturday, April 25, 2026
⏰ 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
📍 Long Beach City College (LBCC) – TTC Campus
1305 E Pacific Coast Highway, Long Beach, CA 90806
🏫 GG Building (Main Room: GG238)
We are gathering:
• Community leaders
• Youth voices
• System partners
• Service providers
• Directly impacted individuals
To engage in real dialogue and solutions around:
✔️ Community violence prevention (CVIPI)
✔️ Trauma-informed healing & mental health
✔️ Restorative justice practices
✔️ Reentry & second chances
✔️ Workforce & economic opportunity
And critically, we are also connecting policy to practice, including conversations around key legislation such as:
AB 2247 (T.H.R.I.V.E. Act) – supporting healing-centered, trauma-informed, violence prevention strategies
SB 38 – strengthening pathways for accountability, rehabilitation, and reentry support
Because real change requires both community voice AND policy action working together.
This is the space where those conversations happen.
If you’ve been saying you care about safety, healing, and opportunity in our community—
this is the room to show up in.
Pull up. Be present. Be part of the work. 🖤
