Los Angeles

Los Angeles is a huge and diverse community that encompasses many groups and individuals with divergent and converging interests. We are about 4500 people strong, and are learning how to collaborate across groups within Los Angeles and also with other regions such as Las Vegas, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Portland and San Francisco.

Los Angeles has an annual decompression, many groups that hold a wide range of events and activities and is moving toward a time where we will begin giving grants to artists within the community to create. We also have town hall meetings from time to time to get the community together in dialogue.

personal quote: “One thing is true, Not always so” — Ernest

“I believe we are part of a movement. Rebelling against the de-humanizing, socially and ecologically irresponsible capitalistic fervor we have forged new ways to relate and be with each other. The Ten Principles of Burning Man. That is our cache, what we have to protect from being assimilated as the next new rage on MTV. They can have the faux fur, blinkys and tribal trinkets. Let's keep the love and the power” — Eleven

“….be the change you wish to see in the world” — Gandhi (Marsi)
