Los Angeles, CA - September 25-27, 2025 - The Los Angeles Civil Rights Department celebrated the 4th anniversary of LA is For Everyone – the award-winning hate crime prevention campaign promoting community, diversity, and inclusion lighting iconic landmarks across the City in #LAForAll colors. 

This year’s festivities were held in partnership with Los Angeles City Councilmembers Adrin Nazarian (CD2) and Hugo Soto-Martinez (CD13), along with the Community Investment for Families Department (CIFD). Together, LA Civil Rights and CIFD are working to assure immigrant communities of their belonging in Los Angeles — as vital and included members of our neighborhoods — while providing resources to ensure everyone knows their rights.
