This land supports safe, dignified, and permanently affordable housing, as well as community-serving commercial spaces and open areas. By advancing community stewardship and democratic governance, ESCLT empowers both tenant and general members to collectively shape how land is used, sustained, and shared—ensuring it remains accessible, equitable, and responsive to community needs. ESCLT views land stewardship as a holistic practice rooted in honoring the history, ecology, and original caretakers of this land. This includes efforts to restore and protect Indigenous plants, support local biodiversity, and uplift ancestral knowledge that teaches us to live in right relationship with the land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610874e13dcd6837bcd3c172/88dbd4de-2b57-44b5-8939-87ed79294377/IMG_5536.jpeg Who We Are - Our Vision We seek to protect the social fabric of the El Sereno community and resist communal deterioration caused by speculation, neocolonial displacement, and capitalist individualization. We foresee reclamation of the land for the community in order to foster autonomy, sustainability, and self-sufficiency. We foster the type of community development that preserves, empowers, de-commodifies, and decolonizes the community and land. We intend to serve the community by respecting and strengthening our ancestral indigenous principles and establishing relationships with the original peoples of this land, the Tongva and Chumash nations. We are committed to reclaiming and rehabilitating land in order to improve our quality of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610874e13dcd6837bcd3c172/1627948530510-8D74D9ATS549AVK2GWZP/ESCLT+BROCHURE+ELEMENT+02.png Who We Are -
