SPARC Statement of Solidarity
SPARC Stands with Immigrant and Undocumented+ Communities
In light of the current political climate in Los Angeles and across the nation, the Social and Public Art Resource Center (SPARC) stands in unwavering solidarity with our immigrant and Undocumented+ communities including mixed-status families, and those navigating multiple forms of systemic marginalization.
Immigrants have shaped the cultural, social, and economic foundation of this country and their humanity is integral to our shared history and future. We honor and uplift these communities with deep respect and unwavering commitment.
We are appalled by the ongoing attacks, policies, and rhetoric that seek to dehumanize, criminalize, and divide. At SPARC, we remain dedicated to using public art as a medium for truth, dignity, justice, and collective empowerment. Through murals, exhibitions, and community engagement, we continue to take action, challenge oppression, and center communities seeking voice and power.
You are not alone. We see you. We support you. We stand with you.
Please stay safe and connected. Together, we resist and build communities rooted in compassion, equity, and imagination.
In solidarity,
The SPARC Team
