JOIN US FOR A FREE FILM SCREENING + PANEL DISCUSSION

All the Walls Came Down is an Oscar-Shortlisted film by Ondi Timoner about what unfolded in Altadena after the Eaton Fire one year ago. It exposes the systems failures that followed and the real risk of families losing their homes.

Join us for a screening and discussion of the film. There will be a pop-up Peoples Marketplace where guests can shop food, fashion, art, and more!

Heavenly Hughes of My Tribe Rise will join the panel, sharing her mutual aid and housing justice work with working-class, elderly, and disabled Black residents in Altadena and Pasadena.

Panel: 3:30pm

Did you know…

during the Altadena fire, residents experienced zero emergency response while homes were actively burning?

in some areas, water pressure failed or was shut off, while gas and electricity infrastructure remained live, intensifying fires?

after the flames were contained, many Altadena families were left facing insurance gaps, repair limbo, and foreclosure?
