30 days until A City United Gala. 🖤💛

Before we gather at The Biltmore on December 1, we want to say thank you. To Verizon, Orange Barrel Media, ONE, lululemon, MegaCARE, and every Silver, Bronze, Emerald, and Ruby partner: your support is already changing lives across Los Angeles. You’re part of this night before it even starts.

Grab your seat or table at ibtu.la/gala (link in bio). We can’t wait to see you there.

Looking back on the GEAR UP Parent Empowerment Series at five Ánimo campuses this fall. Two weeks of parents, families, and scholars showing up together. 💛

Mae Jemison, Compton, Legacy, James B. Taylor, and Jefferson. Thank you to the families and teams at each campus who made the series what it was.

This work matters because families deserve a seat at the table when it comes to their scholars’ futures. Money questions, college questions, and “what’s next” questions shouldn’t have to be figured out alone. When parents have the information and the support, students have a stronger path forward.

Thank you to our partners Thrivent, Building College for Success, and Heart of LA for showing up for these families with breakfast and lunch, and to everyone who made every workshop feel like it was built for the people in the room.

Thank you, Green Dot Ánimo. We’re ready for the next one.

Community is the infrastructure.

Thank you to everyone who has volunteered, shared, posted, and donated to our Community Clean Up series at Venice Fishing Pier. Together we’ve passed our 2026 goals of 1,000 pounds and 20,000 pieces of debris removed. So far this year we’ve collected more than 1,669 pounds of trash and an estimated 188,000 pieces.

We’re not stopping. Our last two cleanups are November 14 and December 12, and we’d love to see you there. Sign up at the link in bio.

“Just watch me work, because I’m here to do the work. I’m here for the community.” — Councilwoman Heather Hutt
That commitment comes to life at our monthly food distribution, serving hundreds of residents with dignity, care, and consistency. 💛

Thank you to Councilwoman CD10 Councilwoman Heather Hutt, L.A. Care Health Plan Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles, Westside Food Bank, and Baldwin Hills Crenshaw for partnering with IBTU to help ease the burden of food insecurity for our neighbors.

Community is the infrastructure.
