And, for the first time ever, One Imagination is releasing a
compilation album of local musicians, poets, and artists called VOICES
OF OUR COMMUNITY. Our official release party is being held on
Saturday, July 10th at The HUB in Long Beach. Save the date! More
details to come! All album proceeds will be going towards One
Imagination’s youth programs.

In case you were wondering about our youth programs, One Imagination’s
2010 ¡YA BASTA!/Enough is Enough!: Summer Youth Organizing Institute
has finally launched and is going strong with an awesome group of
ambitious and committed youth and mentors meeting weekly to become
better, more strategic community organizers.

We are also proud to announce the starting of our One Imagination Free
University political study group. Reading material and meeting times
are to be determined by the collective, but we do plan to get started
in mid-July. If interested in participating, contact us at
oneimagination@gmail.com.

And last but not least, if you’re interested in joining One
Imagination, we’re holding a general membership meeting this Sunday,
June 27th, 12-2PM at Catalyst Space: 430 E. 1st Street in Long Beach.
