ÓRALE ( Organizing Rooted in Abolition, Liberation, and Empowerment)

ÓRALE (formerly the Long Beach Immigrant Rights Coalition) formed in 2006 organizes for the dignity, healing justice, and intergenerational power of immigrants and undocumented POC in Los Angeles and California. Our work and purpose is rooted in community, with the goal of abolishing the criminalization of immigrants of color, fortifying community safety and healing, and securing opportunities where immigrant communities thrive. ÓRALE works to ensure that immigrants, and especially, impacted immigrants of color have access to life affirming programs and services that support dignified health justice and care while mobilizing and organizing for widespread transformative and systemic change locally and nationally.

ÓRALE 's culturally grounded and healing centered programming, Sanemos Juntos has provided Long Beach immigrant families and undocumented community members with access to embodied healing practices like trauma informed yoga, sound bath therapy led in Spanish, and Reiki healing courses. We are centering our community's healing and rest by asking for your support to further this work. Sanemos Juntos offers first-time Spanish speaking community members with guided wellness practices that center their aliveness, dignity, and self-care.                    

ÓRALE's abolitionist-immigrant centered movement work, organizing and power building, embodied health justice driven and organizing work has emboldened an immigrant led and centered movement, committed to the collective liberation and social justice of Black Indigenous People Of Color (BIPOC) immigrants and undocumented families in Los Angeles County with a focus in Long Beach, the second largest city in LA County. ÓRALE's work centers, organizes, and builds power amongst the most diverse undocumented community, and advances bold protections and policies that directly aim to dismantle the deeply entrenched racism and xenophobic systems of oppression at the national, state and local level. ÓRALE mission is to build and sustain a thriving immigrant-led movement to end the criminalization of immigrants and secure bold protections and advancements that alchemize conditions that give way for BIPOC immigrant communities to thrive.
