Echo Park Immigration Center (EPIC) is a faith collective that provides essential resources, mentoring and career connections for our immigrant youth and their families from a decolonizing approach. We launched in 2021 in through Echo Park UMC to work in solidarity with our greater Los Angeles community. With YOUR help, we’re sure to achieve our fundraising goal of $25k as we expand our collective work in our community.

On behalf of the Echo Park Immigration Center (EPIC), we are excited to invite you to our very first Raíces Gala on Aug. 20, 2022, from 3-6pm. Join us to celebrate the historical roots (raíces) of EPIC within the immigration justice movement in Los Angeles as we honor important leaders in our community, share delicious refreshments, host a special musical performance and offer a silent auction with local art.
