Since 1994, InnerCity Struggle has worked with youth, families and community residents to promote safe, healthy and non-violent communities in the Eastside. We organize youth and families in Boyle Heights, unincorporated East Los Angeles, El Sereno and Lincoln Heights to work together for social and educational justice. InnerCity Struggle provides positive after-school programs for students to become involved in supporting our schools to succeed. We have empowered students to reach their family's dream of college. The work of InnerCity Struggle demonstrates that youth and parents working together are a powerful force for improving their communities and making real change. InnerCity Struggle has also educated and empowered thousands of Eastside voters to be heard at the ballot box on critical issues impacting our communities.

Community Herbal Studies Collective reminder!🌱🌼🍃
Our next session is scheduled for this upcoming Monday, October 12th.

In our September session, we connected with the lovely ✨ Hawthorn✨. This remarkable plant is a valuable ally for both the heart and mind. It supports cardiovascular health and aids digestion. Hawthorn can be consumed in various forms, including as a jelly made from the berries, as tea, and more!

Do you use Hawthorn? Let us know in the comments!

Mail-in ballots have dropped, and so has our voter guide on the 14 statewide propositions that you will find on your ballot! Our fight at this moment is to use our vote to make the 1% pay their fair share in taxes and bring vital resources to our hoods.

Stop by our community center next Friday and get a physical copy that includes our guide to a Buen Vivir Eastside, featuring some of our favorite spots in the neighborhood to gather with friends and share a meal.

Heavy on the asking for a life that doesn't need a calculator to survive, and that means a home we can afford, a good doctor when we need one, and pay that actually covers the bills.

Drop a 💯 if you agree!

It's Latine Heritage Month, and we're just checking that you don't forget that celebrating our cultures also means standing up for our communities.

Our heritage is deeply rooted in resilience, migration, and the countless stories of those who came before us. So while we celebrate the beauty and the joy of our cultures, let's also remember to speak up when harmful policies threaten our people. We cannot celebrate our culture while ignoring the systems that criminalize and separate families.

What makes you proud to be Latine?
