Not Chavez Ravine!
The Families of Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop, together with Buried Under the Blue, would like to thank every one of you for your ongoing support on our journey for justice and reparations for the three communities displaced to build Dodger Stadium. Thanks to your donations, we have been able to educate elementary, high school, and college students throughout California about what happened to our neighborhoods, the forced removal of our families, and their importance in Los Angeles’s history.
We have also attended many public events with our outreach table, where we shared the truth about Palo Verde, La Loma, and Bishop. At these events, we were grateful 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.
Our work has gained vital support from local politicians and community organizations who recognize the importance of reparations and justice for the families. We are also 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 this journey for justice for the three communities 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 our three communities.
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.
