WATCH: We Rise by Ti Tavai and 'aikona
by Ti Tavai Working on the Dear Mr. Warren Buffett video and being in the theater watching the Waters Rising dance performance by Tuvalu and Kiribati residents helped and inspired me to create a song for the people in the community with high air pollution and climate change, how they are impacted by that everyday. It showed me a lot about the different parts of our community and the struggles we have to face with our health. How it is important that we as a community should rise together. So, I felt that you know, that creating this song with the help of West Long Beach and East Wilmington and many other communities opened up my heart. It made me understand the true meaning of our voices and how we can put that together in just that one song. And, you know how happy, and glad, and blessed I am, just to be a part of that and to be able to share that with the world, you know that message we have as a community. I thank Dr. Gisele Fong for believing in me and pushing me to write and sing my dreams. Thank you Angelo Logan for all your support. Thank you Rene Castro for your faith and encouragement. Thank you Building Healthy Communities Air Quality Work Group Long Beach for your time and sharing your beautiful faces. To my family and Long Beach community all my heart. To my wife and moa, you are why I rise 80) To the Creator, I give all the glory. Alofa atu, Ti |

Wrigley Neighborhood Says NO to Predatory Lenders
 Mission Impossible: April 2012, Wrigley River Run training, we learned the bad news for the neighborhood: a title lender wants to move into the pivotal gateway corner of Wrigley Village at Pacific Avenue and Pacific Coast Highway. (PCH). That was when this all began and at that time it did seem like we had no choice but to accept the inevitable predatory lending business from moving in. A lobbyist for the title lending company goes to the neighborhood group meetings to explain what the company is about. The answers they gave to questions were always vague and that they are a legal business and they're coming in, get used to it. OUr mission was set: we had to figure out a way to stop that from happening. |
