Buried Under the Blue

The Families of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop would like to thank everyone for your ongoing support of our journey for justice and reparations for Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop, the three communities displaced by Dodger Stadium. Thanks to your donations, we have educated elementary, high school, and college students throughout California about what happened to Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop, their forced removal, and their importance in Los Angeles’s history.

 

We were also able to attend many public events with our outreach table, where we educated the public and shared the truth about Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop. At these events, we were fortunate to meet so many of you who are committed to correcting the historical record and holding the Dodgers accountable for their role in this displacement.

 

We have gained much-needed support from our local politicians and community organizations, who recognize the importance of reparations and justice for the families. We are also very honored to have Chief Andrew Salas of the Kizh Nation, the original lineal Indigenous descendants of the Los Angeles Basin and Orange County, join us on the journey for justice for Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop and land back for the Kizh Nation.

 

Our journey has been documented by many media outlets through stories, articles, and features. We have also participated in numerous podcasts with grassroots educators, helping us reach wider audiences and keep the history of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop alive.

 

As you know, our work is far from finished. We will not give up until justice is achieved for Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop.

 

We ask that you continue supporting us by sharing our social media posts and outreach emails with friends, family, and networks. Every donation makes a difference, helping us sustain our education programs, outreach efforts, and legal fund.

 

As a token of appreciation, supporters who contribute $25 or more may receive a free shirt. We cannot thank you enough — we would not have come this far without your generosity, solidarity, and ongoing commitment.
