National Black Leaders, Civil Rights Activists, & Organizers Convene in Los Angeles for 'State of the People POWER Tour'

Los Angeles Stop to focus on healing, direct relief and power building.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, June 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The State of the People POWER Tour — a national 10-state campaign uniting Black communities through healing, direct relief, and strategic action — will convene in Los Angeles, California, later this week on June 6–7, 2025. Led by a diverse coalition of local and national organizers, educators, thought leaders, artists, and everyday people, the POWER Tour is rooted in a shared truth: we are the system we’ve been waiting for — and we already hold the power, wisdom, and resources this moment requires.

The two-day convening in Los Angeles will bring together local and national leaders for cultural celebration, meaningful conversations, resource connections, healing spaces, and a historic opportunity to help shape the future of Black Los Angeles. The second day will be held in Pasadena and focus on the ongoing fire recovery efforts in Altadena, community needs and how to ensure equitable emergency response and rebuilding support.
