Join Friends of the Great Wall of Los Angeles
Welcome, Friends!
Like the scaffolding lifting our artists to the highest heights, your support is needed for us to fulfill our mission and to complete this monumental extension of the Great Wall of Los Angeles mural!
Join us in this monumental act of creative unity!
Why this work is so urgent
America is not only in danger of repeating history, but of allowing its beautiful multicultural history to be erased altogether.
Across the nation, huge swaths of information are being deleted, and vital knowledge removed from shelves and classrooms. Even entire websites, such as the Spanish-language version of the White House’s website, have already disappeared.
Consider becoming a monthly donor and increase your impact!

Together, we will ensure that the Great Wall mural will stand in perpetuity as a monumental celebration of California’s beautifully diverse histories.
