Send us a textMaryvale began in 1856 when five nuns from the Daughters of Charity opened Los Angeles' first orphanage and hospital—initially a small wood-frame home near what is now Union Station. By 1891, it had moved to a larger facility in Boyle Heights, becoming a safe haven for thousands of children. When freeway expansion and earthquake damage threatened that site, generous benefactors—including Carrie Estelle Doheny—helped relocate the orphanage to Rosemead in 1953, where it was renamed Maryvale.Over the decades, Maryvale evolved from an orphanage into a comprehensive community service organization. They opened early education centers in Rosemead and Duarte, added transitional housing for young adults, and developed mental health and family-based programs. Today, Maryvale offers everything from preschool and after-school care to wraparound services, outpatient substance-use treatment, and emergency shelter—making it one of the San Gabriel Valley's longest-running nonprofits.A few warm and surprising facts: (1) Maryvale is LA's oldest children's charity—over 165 years of service. (2) Its Rosemead campus features more than classrooms—there's a pool, transitional housing, and family facilities. (3) Their Duarte site began as a “Land of Ahs” daycare back in 1999 and reopened in 2011 as a state-of-the-art early education and family resource center. (4) Maryvale recently received city approval to expand their Seton House transitional housing project—proof that they're still growing.Today, with campuses in Rosemead, Duarte, and South El Monte, Maryvale continues to serve families with hope, education, mental health support, and housing. From caring for orphans in the 19th century to empowering vulnerable youth and families today, their legacy lives on in real impact across the San Gabriel Valley.__________Music CreditsIntroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OGStingerScarlet Fire (Sting), Otis McDonald, YouTube Audio LibraryOutroEuphoria in the San Gabriel Valley, Yone OG__________________My SGV Podcast:Website: www.mysgv.netNewsletter: Beyond the MicPatreon: MySGV Podcastinfo@sgvmasterkey.com

Battle Over CA National Guard Heads To 9th Circuit Court. Amid ICE raids, empty stores and restaurants in Boyle Heights. Trump says he wants 'real end' to nuclear problem with Iran. Parents say their children coming home from college are “roommates from hell”.

In Los Angeles eskalierte die Lage nach Razzien der Einwanderungsbehörde mit brennenden Autos und Angriffen auf Sicherheitskräfte. Trump entsandte die Nationalgarde, während die lokalen Behörden die Maßnahme als übertrieben bezeichneten.Ein Standpunkt von Janine Beicht.Seit drei Tagen bestimmen Proteste die Straßen von Los Angeles, ausgelöst durch Razzien der US-Einwanderungsbehörde »ICE«. Präsident Donald Trump hat daraufhin die Nationalgarde entsandt, entgegen dem Willen des kalifornischen Gouverneurs Gavin Newsom. Dieser Konflikt zwischen föderaler und lokaler Autorität markiert eine seltene Eskalation, die politische und gesellschaftliche Debatten in den USA prägt.Hintergrund der ProtesteDie Proteste begannen am Freitag, nachdem der ICE »in Los Angeles Razzien« durchführte«, um Personen ohne gültige Aufenthaltsgenehmigung festzunehmen. Laut Behörden wurden 44 Personen inhaftiert. In Stadtteilen wie Downtown Los Angeles, Boyle Heights und vor dem Metropolitan Detention Center versammelten sich daraufhin Demonstranten, teilweise mit mexikanischen Flaggen. Die Proteste eskalierten rasch: Fahrzeuge wurden in Brand gesetzt, Barrikaden aus Betonblöcken und E-Scootern errichtet, und Sicherheitskräfte mit Steinen, Flaschen und Feuerwerkskörpern attackiert. Der Freeway 101 wurde zeitweise blockiert, wodurch der Verkehr zum Stillstand kam.Die Polizei griff zu Tränengas, Gummigeschossen und Blendgranaten, erklärte die Versammlungen für unrechtmäßig und nahm mindestens elf Personen fest. Polizeichef Jim McDonnell sprach von einer „überwältigenden“ Lage für seine Einsatzkräfte und verwies auf gezielt provozierende Störer. Zudem räumte er ein: „Die Situation ist außer Kontrolle geraten.“Einsatz der NationalgardeUm die Lage unter Kontrolle zu bringen, ordnete Präsident Trump am Samstag den Einsatz von mindestens 2000 Soldaten der Nationalgarde an – entgegen dem ausdrücklichen Widerstand des kalifornischen Gouverneurs. Laut Angaben des US-Militärs waren bis Sonntagmorgen bereits rund 300 Soldaten vor Ort im Einsatz. Ihre Aufgabe ist es, Bundesgebäude sowie Einrichtungen der Einwanderungsbehörde zu schützen und die Ordnung während der eskalierenden Proteste aufrechtzuerhalten....hier weiterlesen: https://apolut.net/los-angeles-unruhen-nach-ice-razzien-von-janine-beicht/ Hosted on Acast.

In many Latino households, pain is something you power through—quietly. You work hard, you don't complain, and you certainly don't stop to heal. But what happens when your body forces you to listen? Jackie Hernandez was raised to hustle, to push, to handle her shit—until grief and a chronic illness brought everything to a halt. Instead of giving in, she turned her healing into her purpose—and built a wellness empire one green juice at a time.In this episode, I'm joined by Jackie Hernandez, a wellness entrepreneur, public health advocate, and co-franchisee of two Nekter Juice Bars and an EggBred breakfast concept in Whittier, California. Jackie holds a Master's in Health Administration from USC and spent years shaping obesity prevention and health equity policy at the local and federal levels. A proud Latina raised in Boyle Heights, she draws deep inspiration from her grandfather—a former Bracero worker and activist—who instilled in her the power of education, purpose, and resilience. Tune in to Episode 234 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and prepare to hear one of the most inspiring transformations ever shared on the show. You'll follow Jackie's journey from high-impact policy work to battling a debilitating autoimmune disease, and how green juice—and grief—ultimately changed the course of her life. Her healing journey became a springboard into entrepreneurship, rooted in her mission to combat food deserts and uplift her community. Through her wellness businesses, Jackie now empowers others—especially Latinas—to embrace holistic health, pursue their dreams, and handle life with grit and grace. She is also working on a series of children's books that blend healthy habits with cultural pride, continuing her commitment to impact the next generation.Episode Takeaways:A childhood shaped by family separation and cultural pride (2:00)The power of a grandfather's words (7:20)Translating for grandma at age 9 (13:00)Fighting big food as a Latina lobbyist (18:40)Flat tires, vandalism, and burnout (25:00)Losing her father—and her health (31:20)Healing with green juice and holistic medicine (37:00)Turning pain into purpose: Launching Nekter (42:30)Books, business, and handling your sh*t (48:00)Connect with Jackie Hernandez:LinkedInInstagramLet's Connect!WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInJackie Tapia Arbonne websiteBuy The Amiga Way's Book Hosted on Acast.

My guest this episode are Metzli and Lydia. Both Metzli and Lydia are returning guests of the show, so it was a lot of fun to have them on again, seven years later! Our discussion touched on the different aspects of gentrification, Metzli's own experience as a young person, the back yard punk scene, we defined what a Xicano Hipster is aka a Xipster, and hopefully made some people uncomfortable along the way.  You can listen to Lydia and Metzli's first interview by searching for episode five of the show, but you you can also listen to the interview here.

We'll see the echoes of the Cold War ethos in today's foreign policy.Week 2 – A Hello To Arms, about the renewal of the arms industry after the war in what was nominally a time of peace and how that affected the African-American community as wartime opportunities vanished. This will be an occasion to examine the current state of relations in the African-American community as well as the US “defense” industry, a behemoth that today is utterly out of control and that dictates global wars.Week 3 – The Precinct With The Golden Arm about the LAPD and its changing modes of surveillance, particularly of the Mexican-American community is this period starting to dominate Boyle Heights, an area that is now being gentrified.

Father Greg Boyle is a Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the world. A Los Angeles native, he served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights, one of the city's most impoverished and gang-afflicted parishes. In response to the devastating impact of gang violence, he pioneered a radical approach: treating gang members with compassion rather than suppression, ultimately transforming thousands of lives.Father Greg is the author of multiple bestselling books, including Tattoos on the Heart, Barking to the Choir, and The Whole Language. His work has earned him widespread recognition, including the California Peace Prize, the Laetare Medal from the University of Notre Dame, and most recently, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Send us a textToday's discussion is with a very special person- Father Greg Boyle, an American Jesuit priest and the founder of Homeboy Industries, which is the largest gang rehabilitation and reentry program in the world.In Father Greg's own words, he says it has been the privilege of his life, for more than 30 years, to have been taught everything of value by gang members and that he stands in awe of what many of the disadvantaged, powerless, voiceless, and marginalized have had to carry in their lives.Father Greg founded Homeboy Industries nearly 40 years ago at the Dolores Mission Parish in Boyle Heights in East Los Angeles. His work has received the highest recognition - in 2014, former President Obama named Father Greg as a Champion of Change, and President Joe Biden recently awarded him the Congressional Medal of Freedom, a testament to the profound impact he has had on so many people's lives.Homeboy Industries is built upon two foundational principles that are directly responsible for infusing such a deep sense of love, hope, compassion, and kinship throughout the organization:Everyone is unshakeably good, there are no exceptions.We all belong to each other, and there are no exceptions.Father Greg believes that no bullet can pierce these truths, and that when gang members know this truth, they begin to inhabit it and develop the compassion and tenderness needed to transform not only their own lives, but the lives of all members of Homeboy Industries.In our conversation today, Greg shares life lessons he has learned through his work, but also how this work has changed his life for the better and given him the purpose and hope needed to continue his efforts every day.We also dive into his most recent book, "Cherished Belonging: The Healing Power of Love in Divided Times." I hope as many listeners as possible get their hands on a copy of this book.Connect with Homeboy Industries: WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeLinkedInContact Homeboy Industries here.Father Greg's 2012 Ted TalkLinks to Father Greg's other books: Tattoos on the HeartThe Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant TendernessBarking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship

What up Foooo's!!! Felipe talks making less money than his wife, his new Netflix special and roasts Anthony A for good measure.  Felipe Esparza was born in Sinaloa, Mexico. He lived on his mother's family's ranch in Sinaloa before moving with his family to live with his aunt in Tijuana, where they lived for about two years. His father had left the family to go to the United States alone. Eventually, before President Reagan's amnesty law, Esparza, his two brothers, and his mother illegally immigrated to the United States, traveling in the car of a "coyote" smuggler. During the trip, they were stopped at a checkpoint in San Clemente, California, and he was held in a holding cell with his brothers, separate from their mother, for a short period of time. The family was deported. They attempted the trip again, but they were stopped and deported again. They tried a third time, using the passports of cousins who lived in California. They changed cars twice and were driven to Carson, California. They were then moved to the Boyle Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, where his father was living.[3] Esparza was raised in the Aliso Village housing projects of Boyle Heights.[4] He attended Theodore Roosevelt High School.[5]

(nota de noviembre 2024) ¿Por qué muchos votantes latinos de California eligieron a Donald Trump? https://calmatters.org/calmatters-en-espanol/2024/11/porque-votantes-latinos-apoyan-trump-elecciones-2024/ “La mayoría de los 12 condados de California con mayoría latina (si no todos) dieron una mayor proporción de su voto a Trump en comparación con 2020, y los condados con una mayor proporción de población latina se inclinaron más hacia Trump, según un análisis de CalMatters de los datos de votación estatales. Trump también amplió su participación en la mayoría de los demás condados de California.” ¿Los latinos dieron la victoria a Trump? Su apoyo a Trump umentó casi 8 puntos: “AP VoteCast, que encuestó a más de 120,000 votantes de todo el país en inglés y español, muestra que el 55% de los encuestados latinos apoyaron a la vicepresidenta Kamala Harris, mientras que el 43% respaldó a Trump. En 2020, Joe Biden ganó el 63% de los votos entre los encuestados latinos frente al 35% de Trump.” Una combinación de factores según encuestadores, expertos, consultores políticos y una docena de latinos en el Valle Central que hablaron con CalMatters. 1. la inflación atribuida a una administración impopular 2. la preocupación por la seguridad fronteriza 3. la resistencia a los mensajes de los demócratas sobre cuestiones culturales 4. falta de atractivo de Harris, ¿Más que un apoyo a los republicanos es un mensaje a los demótras? “Lo que ustedes llaman un giro hacia la derecha, yo lo llamaría un rechazo a más de lo mismo. Los votantes están diciendo… ‘Queremos que ustedes cambien” dijo el demócrata Adam Gray candidato congresional por el distrito 13.

As soon as you press play on Genuine Dexterity, the new album by k-the-i??? and Kenny Segal, released on Backwoodz Studioz, you immediately hear why this album was indeed called what it was called. k-the-i???'s raw technical skill was put on full display, as he delivered crazy rhyme schemes, intricate flows, and strong moments of personal reflection. On the production side of the coin, Kenny Segal crafted an immensely impressive soundscape that features his trademark hard drums, bass, alongside splashes of dissonant noise, and other experimental weirdness. Through today's conversation with our guests, k-the-i?? and Kenny Segal though, you come to learn that this album title of Genuine Dexterity extends to the album's creation as well.

Send us a textHappy Halloween Eve! Today's episode is all about the spooky. A few weeks ago on Instagram, I posted my call to action for your spooky stories and got some great responses! I was looking up the most haunted hospitals in the United States and here's what I found: Linda Vista Community Hospital, located in Boyle Heights, East LA. This hospital is considered one of the most haunted in the country. It closed in 1991 and has been featured in many films, television shows, and music videos. Some say the hospital is haunted by lost spirits, a ghostly doctor, and a little girl laughing and singing. Okay, yeah, that's just creepy. In today's stories, you will hear a couple that have to do with kids and I have a story of my own. Thank you to the four respondents!Sit back, get your candy bowl, put your costume on, and listen to these spooky stories. Happy Halloween!!Thank you for answering the call!Susan J.

The Trump campaign – it's not going well right now. Marc Cooper has our analysis, and advises, rather than follow the two-or-three-point difference in polling, that we should instead look at the trend lines. Also, he reminds us that at the end of July in 1988, Michael Dukakis was leading George Bush by 14 points.It's still August — and time for more summer beach reading. While the Democrats hold their convention in Chicago, the number one nonfiction bestseller in America is “Hillbilly Elegy” by J.D. Vance. Luckily for us, Becca Rothfeld, author of “All Things Are Too Small” and the nonfiction book critic of The Washington Post, has read it, so we don't have to.From the archives: The legendary Father Greg Boyle, Jesuit pastor of Dolores Mission in Boyle Heights starting in 1986, has made it his mission to help gang members who want to quit. He founded Homeboy Industries in 1988. We spoke about his wonderful book "Tattoos on the Heart: Stories of Hope and Compassion" (Originally broadcast Jan., 2012)

In an era marked by division and rising mental health challenges, Fr. Greg Boyle's voice is one we need to hear now more than ever. On this episode of the Cracking Open podcast, I am honored to speak with Fr. Boyle, a man whose work, books, and mission have inspired me for years.Father Gregory Boyle is a Jesuit priest and founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the world's largest gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights from 1986 to 1992. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles and had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city.  He had a front-row seat to the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s, peaking at 1,000 gang-related killings in 1992.  Law enforcement deployed harsh police tactics and the criminal justice system rolled out policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the primary response to the increased gang violence. But where others saw only criminals, Father Boyle saw people in need of help. So his parish and community members decided to implement a radically different approach – to treat gang members as human beings.  In 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. Whether joining their 18-month employment and re-entry program or seeking discreet services such as tattoo removal or substance abuse resources, their clients are embraced by a community of kinship and offered a variety of free wraparound services to facilitate healing and growth. In this episode, we discuss Fr. Boyle's journey to becoming a priest, the development of Homeboy Industries, and his core principles: “Everybody's unshakably good, no exceptions,” and “We belong to each other, no exceptions.”  We also explore the teachings of Jesus, and what Fr. Greg shares is the “marrow of the gospel” emphasizing inclusion, nonviolence, unconditional kindness, and compassion.Fr. Boyle speaks of these concepts in his 2010 New York Times bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion, followed by Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship (2017) and The Whole Language: The Power ofExtravagant Tenderness (2021). Recently he debuted Forgive Everyone Everything, an anthology of writings accompanied by Fabian Debora's artwork. He has received the California Peace Prize and has been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame's 2017 Laetare Medal, the oldesthonor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize, validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle's vision and work by the organization for over three decades. And in May 2024, Fr. Greg was a recipient of The Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Biden.Our heartfelt conversation reveals that what everyone seeks is a home – not just a physical space but a place where they are seen, and valued, and where judgment is left at the door.Love, MollyLearn more about Father Greg Boyle and his work with Homeboy Industries hereFollow Homeboy Industries on Facebook, Instagram, and X.

In an episode that unfolds like a gripping narrative, the Transition Drill Podcast delves into the life of Ruben Palomares, a former LAPD officer whose journey from the boxing rings of Boyle Heights to the heart of the Rampart scandal, one of the most notorious police scandals in recent history is both harrowing and enlightening. Born in Mexico and raised in the challenging neighborhoods of Los Angeles, Ruben's early life was marked by adversity. From a young age, he was drawn to boxing, a passion that promised escape and glory. His aspirations led him to dream of Olympic gold, a dream cut short by injuries and the harsh realities of the sport's politics. Ruben's narrative takes a pivotal turn when he joins the LAPD, initially fueled by a desire to combat the gang violence and drug dealing that plagued his community. His story provides a unique insider perspective on the complexities of police work, from undercover operations in high schools, where he survived being shot, to the high-stakes environment of the Rampart Division CRASH Unit. However, Ruben's career took a dark turn as he found himself embroiled in criminal activities, leading to his eventual arrest and incarceration in federal prison for 18 years. Today, Ruben is deeply committed to giving back to the law enforcement community, focusing on addressing the critical issues of trauma and mental health among police officers. Having experienced firsthand the physical and psychological scars that come from a life of the highs and lows of being a cop and a criminal, Ruben now dedicates his time to mentoring current officers. He shares his story openly, not shying away from the details of his own fall from grace, to highlight the importance of mental health support. Ruben is still actively involved in boxing and Jiu Jitsu and encourages using combatives to help address mental health trauma. This episode is a profound exploration of themes such as atonement and giving back, as Ruben reflects on his journey from a corrupt police officer to seeking redemption and helping others avoid the pitfalls that ensnared him. His story is a cautionary tale of the thin line between right and wrong and the redemptive power of second chances.
