We are more than just a community center and museum; we are a grassroots co-op of community partners dedicated to the history and storytelling of East Los Angeles. We ar a clearinghouse of storytelling with multiple studios for producing our shared stories through music, video broadcasting, podcasting, writing, as well as applied and performing arts. And we have done this all through the empowerment of storytelling. We have never received any funding through grants, government or NGOs, or philanthropists. As an under-served community with limited resources we weekly provide a cultural history tour which articulates the cultural heritage we are working to preserve here, and people donate through their tour ticket sales; that is the entire funding base for this most dynamic and thriving community center. We are grateful for the people who enable our storytelling through these virtual tour donations; generous people who make this history free and accessible for our struggling working-class community. However, due to the coronavirus we are unable to hold tours, making it difficult for us to sustain ourselves. We are having a hard time paying the rent for this 3000 square-foot community center while we are shuttered for the quarantine. We would be grateful if you would consider to make an donation as a patron to help us during this financial crisis. You may give via Paypal: https://www.paypal.me/BarrioBoychik or Venmo: https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2820140588597248883 We intend to not be destroyed or dismayed by this coronavirus crisis, but to come back out of this quarantine as determined as ever to maintain our cultural heritage. With your help we are confident that we get through this crisis, and will remain your cultural center and museum telling your oral history for years to come! Thank you!
