As COVID-19 continues to affect our lives and way of engagement, the Empowerment Congress continues to be true to our mission to educate, engage, and empower the community in new ways. As we abide by all recommendations set forth by the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, the State of California, and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) with regard to public assembly in order to reduce the spread of the virus, we will meet virtually for the foreseeable future.
Please continue to check here for information on developments related to the virus, the LA County response to the virus, and ways to continue to engage with the Empowerment Congress while we work to see post-pandemic life.
