Threads of the World: A Multicultural Celebration is an event set to take place on March 23rd
from 12 PM to 3 PM at Blossom Market Hall in San Gabriel, CA. This event is organized by a
group of high school students participating in the 2025 Leadership in Action Program led by
Little Tokyo-based non-profit, Kizuna.
The event aims to celebrate diversity in light of the increasing attacks on immigration and
multiculturalism. The current political climate motivated the team to provide a platform for
marginalized communities to share their stories through workshops, cultural performances, and
keynote speakers.
Threads of the World engages all age groups. Families and young children can participate in
identity-inspired art projects. Parents and students will have the opportunity to learn about
protecting their right to education amidst new policies. All audiences can enjoy a diverse food
selection, compelling performances, and speakers.
The team hopes to spread the message that diversity is a strength. Each identity, culture, and
community is a thread of the world—when woven together, they create a vibrant tapestry of the
globe.

● Keynote Speakers: Speeches from California State Senator Sasha Renée Pérez,
