We honor all those who gave their lives for our country and stand in strength with those they left behind. #memorialday

On the one-year anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we honor the life and memory of Mr. Floyd and so many others who have lost their lives as a result of racism. MHALA also doubles down in our support of the Black and African American community and in our commitment to advance equity and social justice. Hatred and violence are the enemies of true mental health.

The pandemic showed that immigrant communities are both essential and excluded in the LA County ecosystem. We urge the LA County Board of supervisors to allocate 35% of the $1.9 billion into immigrant communities! #ImmigrantsAreLA #AJustRecovery4All Hilda Solis Supervisor Holly J.
