Thank you to Mark Chase for prayer and rapping truth to power. Thank you to Vice-Mayor Jess Rivas for acknowledging the work of the workers and volunteers. Thank you to Angelica Salas for speaking heritage and turning pain into power and  Jon DeCuir for declaring that we begin in the journey of 11 million acts of kindness.  Other community stakeholders were present -- it was a One Pasadena/Altadena sight to see!
