Dear Neighbors,​​
​
Happy New Year!
​​
Over the past year our community has experienced a great deal. We’ve felt the weight of federal immigration raids in our homes and on our streets—events that have shaken many families and stirred deep concern across Pico Union. In times like these, it is easy to feel isolated, afraid, or uncertain.
​
But let us be clear: we are a strong and resilient community! We do not let fear define who we are. Instead, we choose solidarity, compassion, and unwavering hope. In Pico Union, we stand together—neighbors supporting neighbors—knowing that unity is our greatest strength. Even as we face serious challenges, we make room for joy.
​
In 2026 we’ll join forces with other organizations in our community to serve community events from street cleans to our 5th Annual Bike Safety Camp. Upcoming on February 20th we’ll have a movie screening at Berendo Middle School. That’s the heartbeat of Pico Union!
​
If you’re interested in joining our Neighborhood Council, or perhaps one of the committee's please check the opening and always feel free to reach out via the contact form or email. With fresh perspectives and deep community roots, this Board is committed to making bold, positive strides together.
​
And don’t forget—our in-person Council meetings are held on the first Monday of every month at 5:30 PM. at the LAPD Olympic Station Community Room (1130 S. Vermont Ave).
​
Stay tuned and let’s continue to grow stronger, dream bigger, and build joy right here in Pico Union.
With solidarity and love,
Pico Union Neighborhood Council
