This summer has expanded the ways we learn and build together. Your input at Monthly Meetings has guided the opportunities to deepen our relationship to Long Beach, share practical skills, and learn from one another. Here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

Thank you to everyone who joined us last month for our first anniversary of monthly meetings! What a joy and privilege to mark a full year of community, learning, and growing together. Last meeting, we dug into what belonging and stewardship can look like in our neighborhoods and celebrated our one-year milestone through art, conversation, and scoops of ice cream.

April has arrived, and we’re still riding the energy of an incredible season of gathering, learning, and growing together!

This past month, we held our Annual Meeting! What a gift it was to see so many of you in one room, sharing food, stories, and a collective sense of purpose.

As we step into February, we carry with us the resilience of our neighbors on screen and the stories shared from our work here in Long Beach and from CLTs across the region. Scroll down for upcoming events where we’ll roll up our sleeves together!

This month’s meeting was a beautiful reminder of the “why” behind our collective work toward community ownership. It was inspiring to see everyone engage so thoughtfully in the activities. It’s in these conversations that we move beyond theory and begin to weave the tangible fabric of a just future for Long Beach, a future where housing is a right for all.

As we enter November, we’re reflecting on our shared relationship to land and tapping into the deeper meaning of this for the upcoming monthly meeting. Our region carries deep histories of care, displacement, resilience, and community, which are themes that shape the work we do together. In this context, our CLT work is a powerful act of re-imagination by redefining a way of living that centers collective stewardship, stability, and belonging.
