Vigilant Love invites you to celebrate Eid with us at our Bridging Communities Eid Celebration and fundraiser on Sunday, April 23, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm PDT at the Terasaki Budokan in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles! Adapted from VL’s Bridging Communities Iftar, this year’s family-friendly, in-person Eid celebration is an inter-spiritual community experience where we invite people of all ages to gather and collectively emerge from the contemplative, inward-turning spirit of Ramadan into a celebration of the sweetness of life, of VL family and community, and gratitude for our blessings.
Our theme for the 2023 Eid Celebration is “Sweets and Solidarity,” inspired by the expansive variety of desserts and treats enjoyed all over the Islamic world during Eid, as well as Vigilant Love’s ongoing solidarity and healing justice work. We acknowledge the challenges, isolation, and injustices our communities have endured during these last three years. With our “Sweets and Solidarity” event, we celebrate the gift of safely coming together in person, in community, after so long. We affirm our right to gather not only in grief and rage, but in joy, joy in our resilience and our re-commitment to each other in solidarity. We are excited to eat, be social, share stories, pray, and create and witness art together.
Since Vigilant Love’s founding, we have been committed to resisting isolation and building solidarity through arts and healing justice. No matter the obstacles we face, we affirm how radically special our Bridging Communities events have become and hope you join us in person this year for our 8th Bridging Communities gathering!
