Glendale Highway Cleanup 🛣🧹🦺
Holly Drive, Holly Dr, Glendale, CA, USIf you believe community service is a critical part of giving back locally we hope you join us as we clean the 2 Freeway in Glendale! We work with CalTrans to leave a cleaner, most sustainable future for everyone that lives here. Come join our efforts!
Atheists United is a community nonprofit that provides programming for Greater LA's million+ atheists and agnostics. We've proudly been hosting highway cleanups in Los Angeles for almost two decades.
What to wear:
Close-toed shoes, long pants, sunscreen or long sleeve shirt. Dress in layers because it can start out cold and warm up later in the morning. We'll provide bags, gloves, and grabbers so you won't have to bend over to pick up trash. Minimum age to participate is 16.
Lunch or Refreshments:
We'll pick a place for refreshments after the cleanup
How long:
The highway clean-up will take about 2 hours; plus an optional get-together for refreshments afterward.
How to find us:
We'll meet at the Holly exit, off of the 2 freeway in Glendale (See map). Call Steve if you can't find the group 310-686-8862.
RSVP:
Please remember to change your RSVP to "no" if you can't make it. This is a common courtesy. This is also important because we can't do the cleanup with only one person attending, for safety reasons.

Atheists United Time Travel Party & Clothing Drive
724 E Edgeware Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90026, Los Angeles, Ca, USHey Meetup Friends,
You’re invited to Atheists United's first major gathering of the year on May 2nd! It’s a Time Travel Party… supporting a timely cause!***
### Get Tickets
Want to cherish the past, go back to the future, or boldly go where no one has gone before? Join our annual community party in a 130-year-old Victorian mansion in Echo Park! (Costumes representing the past or future are encouraged, but never required.)
Our party will include:- Live music
- Food & drinks
- Silent auction
- Private tour of Heretic House
(Check out pics from prior Time Travel parties here and here!)
***
### Gender-Inclusive Clothing Drive
It’s also a gender-inclusive clothing drive in support of the Los Angeles LGBT Center!
For the first time ever, we’re giving away free admission or drinks with a donation of clothing or makeup that meets the Center’s guidelines. (Alternatively, you can show proof of purchase from the LGBT Center’s Amazon wish list.)***
### Let’s Leave Inequality in the Past
Our event is part of the American Empathy Project: a nationwide day of action showing that empathy is stronger than cruelty.
LGBTQ+ communities face higher rates of economic hardship. Trans and nonbinary people are often excluded from traditional clothing drives (like those with strict men’s/women’s sections). Items like binders, tucking garments, or more androgynous styles are not usually included.
We want clothing inequality to be history… and celebrate a brighter future for everyone!***
### RSVP

Only 120 tickets available.
