Community members are invited to discuss their vision for a “better Boyle Heights” during a meeting with Councilmember Ysabel Jurado this week.
The meeting, organized by Proyecto Pastoral, will take place on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Dolores Mission Catholic Church.
The meeting was originally scheduled for mid-September and aimed to address safety and immigration in Boyle Heights, but was postponed due to a scheduling conflict, according to Jurado’s team.
At Thursday’s meeting, attendees can expect a community dialogue on topics such as immigration, housing, community improvement and infrastructure, according to Alejandra Alarcon, Jurado’s director of communications.
“Folks should come prepared with any questions they may have, any concerns that they have but more importantly, their experiences and testimonies,” she said.
According to a social media post from Proyecto Pastoral promoting the event, community members are encouraged to share their “thoughts, ideas, and concerns as we work towards creating a better Boyle Heights together.”
Snacks and drinks will be provided to attendees and Spanish interpretation will be available.
Dolores Mission Catholic Church is located at 171 S. Gless St.
