Artist Statement of Solidarity with Gente Organizada

Published Tuesday, August 29, 2023 | 7:48 Am PST

Dear editor,

I am reaching out to request the attached Open Letter, addressed to the Mayor of Pomona, could be published in the Pomonan. 

The letter urges the Mayor to rescind the citations and fines made against Gente Organizada, on the basis that art cannot exist in the absence of free speech. The city is weaponizing the city code to force the removal of the artwork displayed on their exterior, public-facing walls. 

Thank you,
