Basebuilding 101 with LB Forward @ Harte

Harte Neighborhood Library, 1595 W. Willow St. 90810
Tuesday, November 17, 2026, 4 – 6pm

What is organizing? Community organizing is action with people to advance community-led solutions. Organizers support people to define their own problems, fashion their own solutions, and determine what tactics they will use to achieve their goals. Organizers weave relationships, create democratic structures that can wield power, then through a combination of confrontation and negotiation, bring about necessary changes.

This workshop is designed for people of all ages who are interested in or actively engaging in community organizing. No prior experience is necessary. Participants can expect workshops to be hands-on experiences with interactive activities and tools that can be used in any organizing group, campaign, or collective.

Below the Belt Movie Screening @ Harte

Harte Neighborhood Library, 1595 W. Willow St. 90810
Saturday, November 21, 2026, 2 – 4pm

We are proud to host a screening of the groundbreaking PBS documentary Below the Belt (2023, NR). Through the personal and inspiring stories of four women urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms, the film exposes widespread problems in our healthcare systems.

Through the lens of endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 9 women, the film shows how women are often dismissed, discounted, and disbelieved. During the 10 years it takes to be diagnosed with endometriosis, women are often told that symptoms are in their head or part of being a woman. Nearly 50% of infertility cases in women are due to endometriosis and almost all are preventable.

In addition to screening the film, we will host an opening reception with vendors and a special guest moderator to discuss the urgent issues presented in the film.
