“My name is Bea Yeh (she/they) and I created these PCC Strike documentaries. I run a small organization called Luminous Together and our mission is to tend to the community by creating spaces to gather, play, & grow so that we can connect, learn, and nurture skills to build a just and equitable world. Luminous Together programs invite rest, connection, and rootedness, whether that be through forest bathing walks, immersive art worlds, or social practice creative works. I was honored to join the PCC Community on the line to support the strike by crafting these mini-docs centering the voices, stories, and heart of the amazing PCC educational community. Thank you for your courage, your leadership, and your dedication! You made history! UNION STRONG! Follow Luminous Together on IG to learn about our many community programs. www.luminous-together.com”
