Palm Springs Section 14 Prayer Vigil: ‘We Are Gathered Here Tonight To Start That Healing Process’
About 200 people gathered in Palm Springs on Saturday to pray for unity, justice, and healing for those with ties to the forceful evections from Section 14 in the 1960s.
The event was held at Frances Stevens Park and and organized by Section 14 Survivors — a group of about 415 people who lived on Section 14 during the time of the evictions and their descendants — that is currently advocating for the city to compensate them for the trauma and losses that resulted from the evictions.
