The attack against the LGBTQ community in Colorado Springs - on the eve of #TransDayofRemembrance - is a painful reminder of how hateful rhetoric can turn into violence.
We stand in solidarity with the #LGBTQ community in Colorado, Los Angeles, and across the world.

Today marks the first anniversary of #LAForAll.
What started as a multilingual campaign empowering people to fight against hate – has evolved into a celebration of who we are as Angelenos.
Tonight, we light up city landmarks to recognize L.A. as a city of belonging.
ALT The LA For All campaign is the City's largest anti-hate PSA campaign, featuring posters and programming in 18 languages, reiterating the City’s belief in building solidarity by celebrating diversity and standing up to hate by standing for inclusion, equity, and belonging.
