In 2020, Postcards for Democracy launched in the midst of lockdown so any activities, events, exhibitions were held within those restrictions. Now, for the first time, the project will be celebrated in its city of conception... Los Angeles. So come and join us across Greater LA's universities, parks, libraries, community centers, airwaves, museums and the occasional sidewalk!
