From the heart of the nation’s most populous county where 10 million people live, dream, and rise together comes a podcast that uplifts the voices shaping the new future for Los Angeles. Through raw stories, bold ideas, and the lived experiences of every day people we aim to spotlight the unstoppable force of community in motion because Somos Mas! We are more powerful than the systems that try to silence us and more united than ever before. This podcast is rooted in the truth that we live every day: Solo el Pueblo Salva el Pueblo-only the people can save the people. Tune in to stay informed, inspired, and connected to the movement that’s reshaping the future of LA from the ground up!

Our 1st episode kicks us off with a conversation with Luna Vega, longtime SELA organizer and musician. We talk about the roots of organizing in SELA and how the community has a powerful history of resilience, speaking in detail about how Huntington park residents organized to denounce Police Chief Cosme Lozano for collaborating with ICE in 2019 in violation of California State Law, which lead to a federal lawsuit, a $74,000 settlement, & eventually a city ordinance in 2025, further barring the city government from collaborating with ICE. We also speak about the highly visible ICE raids in SELA, in the summer of 2025, when heavily latino neighborhoods were targeted, and how every day people all came together to denounce the violence and human rights abuses.
