Redeemer Community Partnership's Adventures Ahead Summer Program students got to take their lessons to the streets - lifting their voices and marching their feet to advocate for more protections for residents who live next to the oil drilling site in our neighborhood.
On July 20th, Adventures Ahead partnered with another local kids summer program at Holman United Methodist Church to march at the Jefferson and Murphy Drill Sites. It was an amazing and successful demonstration that included over 100 kids and parents!
Praise God for holding back the rain and experience families had in advocating for their community together.

The demonstration was featured on an Al Jazeera America article. (See Article Here).
The article led to increased interest in the oil drilling sites in South LA, and last night, Al Jazeera America aired a segment investigating the lack of protections for South LA neighborhoods with drilling sites in their communities. Check out the video!
