Families Belong Together - San Leandro Family Rally

Community Impact Lab led a family-friendly march & rally to send a clear message to our elected officials and the rest of the world that we demand an end to the cruel policy of separating and children from their parents and that #FamiliesBelongTogether! This isn't about partisanship or politics. This is about standing up for a humane and compassionate treatment of fellow parents, fellow children, and fellows humans. ​

Community Impact LAB March for Our Lives

Picture
Picture
Picture
On March 24, the kids, families and friends of March For Our Lives took to the streets to demand that their lives and safety become a priority and that we end gun violence and mass shootings in our schools and communities today.
    
Our agency is amplified and change happens when we come together. We are inspired by the hundreds of people in San Leandro who joined in marching to end gun violence in our schools and communities. It’s up to each and every one of us to do better for our children. ​

Community Impact LAB: Lift Me Up Bags for Immigrant

    Thank you so much to everyone that honored Dr. MLK’s legacy of service with us today. With the help of 50+ parents and kids, we made 70 Lift Me Up bags filled with needed supplies for unaccompanied youth and new moms. Our youngest volunteers colored pictures and wrote cards, new and familiar people met and learned more about their community, and everyone came together to show how all of us can come together to be a force for good.
