La Ofrenda, a community event and fundraiser honoring RCNV’s social justice past, present, and future will take place on Sunday, October 23, 2022 from 4-6 pm at The Resource Center for Nonviolence (612 Ocean Street, Santa Cruz California). We are looking to raise funds, shine light on those who have passed, and build community.
The public is invited to celebrate our long legacy of social justice work in our community by honoring leaders past present and future. In addition to a traditional Mexican banquet, guests will enjoy music by the new ensemble RosaAzul and feminist author Dr. Ilene Feinman speaking about Building Beloved Community Grounded in Social Justice. All proceeds from the event will be used to support the work of the center.
This is a costume optional event! So come dressed for the occasion.
Guest speaker will be Dr. Ilene Feinman who is a retired emerita professor of democratic cultures and retired dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at CSU Monterey Bay. Her book, Citizenship Rites: Feminist Soldiers and Feminist Antimilitarists (NYU Press, 2000) was noted in the Chronicle of Higher Education as groundbreaking work on women, the US military, and militarism in the context of international relations. She has published in collections as well, and interviewed at NPR, the Washington Post, and Air America regarding Abu Ghraib. She currently teaches short courses for community organizations and academic programs on social movement theory, history, and practice.
