"This work means a lot to me. It's a big part of who I am. And art is meaningful." Thank you. It's hard not to feel guilty watching what's going on in LA, but making art is one of the most important things you can do, so thank you for what you do. It's an antidote to the politics of erasure.

"My overwhelmingly Hispanic elementary school incentivizes attendance that day to stop kids from attending the weekday protest." Why, to protect the status quo or protect the kids?

“People are quick to reap LA’s benefits while dismissing the entire culture. People will exclusively take from LA then claim the city is fake. As if there was anything genuine about coming to a city to get what you need while complaining the whole time that you needed it at all.” Bang on, Janet.
