Palenque LSNA is a catalyst for Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities and allies to take care of one another and take strategic action for systemic change and a just, resilient, and joyful future.
Palenque LSNA is a safe space where Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities and allies can come together to care for one another and build common ground through collective action. Rooted in peace, resilience, and collective power, we work strategically to transform systems to build a future that is joyful.
We welcome new arrivals as our new neighbors. • We recognize this is not a new crisis now but one people have been forced to navigate for a very long time. • We acknowledge the root causes as policies and social structures that have been orchestrated by Western governments to claim power while displacing and uprooting people from their homes. • We know if systems continue to make life impossible for people to live with abundance, we will have refugees everywhere. • We act in response through community actions and connections to provide basic and essential needs, resources, and comfortable spaces to decompress. • We collaborate to share stories that tell how similar many of our experiences really are. • We stand in solidarity with our longstanding and our new neighbors. We support peace and justice.
