?? Today, on International Women's Day 2025, we stand together to #AccelerateAction for gender equality! ?? At the current rate, we won’t see gender parity until 2158 – that’s five generations away. Let’s step forward with urgency to break down barriers and support women in every sphere of life. Together, we can drive the change for a more equal world. ?? #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #GenderEquality #LACountyAD #EmpowerWomen https://lnkd.in/deBSyVW

??Good news for Altadena. ?? Yesterday, the #CountyofLA and #Supervisor Kathryn Barger announced plans to rebuild Loma Alta Park, the only #LACounty park in Altadena to survive the Eaton Fire. Starting in May, Loma Alta will serve as a temporary home for the #LACountyAD Altadena Senior Center that burned, along with a new satellite library, expanded youth programs, after-school childcare, and a teen center, to name just a few. ???? A huge thank you to Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors - LACountyBOS, #lacountyparks , the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, the Annenberg Foundation, the Fire Aid Board, and the #LAClippers for making this possible! ??
