More on Kevin Flores and Forthe.org

Flores directed and produced Our Home Too, a series of documentary shorts “that capture both the pain and resilience of Long Beach residents who were displaced or faced imminent displacement.”

From the Forthe.org website:

“The Forthe.org editorial collective is made up of eight members and various contributors, but it started out of a conversation between journalist Flores and poet James Andrew Carroll, who shared a desire to create a publication that would be capable of both watchdog journalism and providing a platform for local artists.

The idea resonated deeply with three local creators: community ambassador and editor Erin Foley, researcher Marc Cid, and group facilitator and organizer Nancy Lynee Woo, who jumped on board to help turn Kevin and Andrew’s visions into solid practice. In mid-2017, as Forthe.org continued to evolve, another poet, Sheila Sadr, also joined the core staff.”
