⭐ Four Ways to Stay Inspired ⭐

ACTIONS THAT INSPIRE

LEND A HAND
Check out these ways to make a difference from home: write a letter of encouragement to a Defy Ventures Entrepreneur in Training, purchase art supplies for Venice Community Housing's mural projects, or sign up for Mayor Garcetti's census phone banking team to ensure LA is counted.

DISCOVER IDEAS FOR A BETTER LA
Submissions to the My LA2050 Grants Challenge are online now! Each week we're highlighting proposals in one of our five goal categories and exploring their inspirational ideas. Last week we dove into the 65 LIVE proposals and this week we're taking a look at the 67 CONNECT proposals. Stay tuned for PLAY, CREATE, and LEARN!

SHARE COVID-19 RESOURCES
We can all do our part to spread the word about the resources available to Angelenos in need. Check out our updated COVID-19 Directory for the latest offerings in food and nutrition, housing, education, technology, mental and physical health, and more. Plus, use this form to let us know about additional resources.

ENGAGE ONLINE
Virtual events are a wonderful way to stay connected with others and learn from home. Some of our favorites this week: the Natural History Museum's City Nature Challenge Virtual ID Party, UCLA Luskin's lecture on protecting democracy during COVID-19, and a May Day Message from Angela Davis. Find our full list of virtual events below.
