Performing Arts - Los Angeles, California, United States
Sunday Jump is a community open mic series at Pilipino Workers Center in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles. Every first Sunday, we facilitate a safe space for marginalized voices to share stories and create genuine connections through the arts. Our organization's leaders are award-winning poets and community activists who have shared their work across the nation. We have two community guidelines: (1) Express, not impress and (2) Free speech, not hate speech. It's not about the snaps and claps. It's about sharing the love of your art. It's not about putting people down. It's about uplifting our communities. Historic Filipinotown is the heart of our cultural community. With over 400,000 Filipinos living in Los Angeles, 10,000 are in this area. "Historic" can be misconstrued as the community being a relic of the past – yes, we have a tremendous history, but Sunday Jump exists to declare that we are here and now. There are many family-run businesses, neighborhood markets, and community spaces that endure, and Sunday Jump is but one of these sites that illustrates the freshness and vibrancy of our enclave.As Filipino-Americans, we acknowledge the marginalization of our people's history, such as our unrecognized WWII veterans, erased struggles of comfort women, and forgotten agricultural workers of the labor movement. In recognition of this history, we aim to provide a safe space for all marginalized voices to take space and speak out.Sunday Jump is a part of the Pilipino Workers Center fiscal sponsorship program. Donations to Sunday Jump are tax deductible under Federal ID 77-0439301. Pilipino Workers Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization located in Historic Filipinotown, Los Angeles, but serves Filipinos throughout Southern California.
