Strategic Insight Group is a consulting firm in Los Angeles that has already collected nearly 500 pounds of much-needed supplies (toiletries, shoelaces and diapers) that went to 500 children and families in El Paso detention centers on Friday July 19. The supply drive Donations went to The Salvation Army El Paso Texas. Volunteer coordinator, Brianna Graves, and a team of volunteers personally delivered the supplies to the migrant families.

“To the community members who donated, my humble appreciation; you are going to make a lot of people feel some semblance of dignity long lost to the conditions they now face,” Sunnanon posted on his Facebook page. “A special thank you to City of West Hollywood Government, Los Angeles City Hall, Serge Del Marr, Michael T Habicht III, ROAR Resistance, and John Erickson for organizing and collecting the supplies. You have my gratitude.”

The entire West Hollywood City Council joined ROAR Resistance, Hollywood NOW, the Human Rights Campaign Los Angeles (HRCLA), the Stonewall Democratic Club, and the Westside Democratic HQ for the Lights for Liberty vigil on Friday, July 12, to shine a light on the horrific abuses by the Trump administration’s inhuman detention camps. Sunnanon was among the speakers at the demonstrations which also included speeches from community leaders and immigrants who are directly affected by the Trump Administration’s harsh anti-immigrant policies.
