The Truth about Greenfield and King City: Multi-cultural Working Class Struggles on the Central Coast.
Location: RCNV 515 Broadway SC, CA 95060
Description: On Thursday September 15 at 7 PM, Latino and Indigenous activists and community leaders from Greenfield and King City will offer another perspective on controversies that have been labeled \”Latinos versus indigenous\” in recent media reports. Join us for a dialogue with Latino and Indigenous activists on the front lines of the movement for social justice and the rights of working people in rural California. Guests will include Mayor John Huerta, school board candidates Ana Vargas and Laura Caballero, as well as youth organizers and indigenous community leaders. Hosts include Council Member Tony Madrigal, UCSC Professor Jon Fox, the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Paul Johnston of Organizing for Santa Cruz. The event will take place at the Resource Center for Non Violence 515 Broadway, Santa Cruz. Tax exempt donations will be requested: this is a fundraiser for immigrant youth leadership development in the south Salinas Valley.
A private reception will also occur at 5:30 at a nearby private residence. Call for more information at (831) 239-2068.
