API Forward Movement
Meet Kelly (2025 MYARC cohort member) and hear what nature truly means to her. 🌿🌎 Kelly shares she finds nature as a calming sanctuary, to relax and rest, hang out with loved ones, while experiencing something greater than herself! 🗻🌲⛰️🎉Counting down to October 10, 2026! This marks the designation of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Originally designated by President Obama on October 10th, 2014, to protect 346,177 acres of outdoor land as part of the San Gabriel Mountains, this special area increases community access to nature while also protecting local habitats, various species, and historical features. 🌿🌱This milestone celebrates continuous efforts by federal and local administrations to expand outdoor lands and care for our beloved environment. 🌄🌳For API youth in the San Gabriel Valley, the San Gabriels are more than just a backdrop – they are a place to hike, heal, learn, and build community. Protecting these lands means protecting access to nature, cultural connection, and a healthier future for generations to come. 💚But our public lands are still under threat – from budget cuts, staff rollbacks, and efforts to prioritize profit over protection. The latest round of threats proposes to slash even more USFS resources – while paving the way for more roads and data centers on these lands.‼️✊ Join us in calling on Congress to protect and fund the San Gabriel Mountains through the San Gabriel Mountains Forever campaign.📢 Sign the petition (link in bio) and note that you were referred by APIFM. ✨...#SanGabrielMountainsForever #ProtectCAPublicLands #LANatureForAll #myarcprogram #myarc2025 #EnvironmentalJustice #YouthLeadership @lanatureforall … See MoreSee Less

🌿 We’re excited to share highlights from the new raised garden beds installed at Malamalama Ole Lalolagi Church (MOL). Our team has been steadily tending to the space, watering the seedlings, checking on their progress, and watching the garden come to life day by day. What began as freshly built beds is now slowly transforming into a growing garden, cared for with intention and consistency. We planted a variety of crops including lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens, cucumber, and more. These selections not only support access to fresh, nutritious food, but also reflect and honor the preferences of the community we serve. We're grateful to the LA Food Equity Fund and the MOL congregation for their ongoing support in bringing this vision to life. We look forward to continuing to nurture these plants alongside the community and watching the garden flourish in the weeks ahead. 🌿
Growing Together at MOL 🌱
Our team recently returned to Carson in partnership with Malamalama Ole Lalolagi (MOL) Church for another impactful distribution. 💚 This event featured fresh produce and coconut milk made possible through SCAN Health Plan funding, along with taro leaves purchased from Alma Backyard Farm thanks to support from the LA Food Equity Fund. 🥬🥥 ✨ A special highlight of the day was the taro leaf taste test (known as palusami in Samoan and lu in Tongan), deliciously baked in coconut milk by Joel and Isa Fonua. Community members had the chance to enjoy a cherished staple of the Pacific Islander diet. 🌺 We also distributed mochi pancake mix, generously donated by Every Day Action, adding an extra treat for families to enjoy this season. 🎁 Throughout the event, attendees shared their gratitude and appreciation for both the variety and quality of items offered. Despite recent changes to funding and a shift to less frequent distributions, the warmth and welcoming energy from the MOL community remains strong. Their generosity continues to inspire us, and we look forward to continuing to serve and support them. ✨
