Sat., May 2:  Save the Date!  Cushy Tushy Diaper Drive
Cushy Tushy Diaper Drive is happening again and is endorsed by the VNC and Assemblywoman Autumn Burke. 
 
Last year, more than three thousand diapers were collected for local agencies to distribute to families in need. CCTD is hoping to double that this time!
 
You can help immediately by liking Cushy Tushy Diaper Drive on Facebook.
 
Also, CCTD is in need of boxes for collection sites. So if you have any large boxes, this is a great way to recycle them.
 
Feel free to contact us if you have questions, want to donate or get involved either by messaging us on Facebook or emailing Nancy.
 
Call for Artists - Power of Art

Attention Artists! We would like you to be a part of the largest art project in the history of Los Angeles, Power of Art. We are physically turning LA into the largest art gallery in the world and we would be honored if you submitted your work for consideration.

For centuries, artists have been pushed to the side, disrespected and taken advantage of for their talent. This is especially true in Los Angeles. But enough is enough. It is time to bring opportunity to artists and bring them out of the shadows.

Power of Art is unveiling LA's soul in the streets. We have successfully fought to secure mural access to over 4,000 signal boxes in Los Angeles.
