We are pleased to present Civil Rights Activist Dolores Huerta at the Henry J. Mello Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, August 12 at 4:00pm in Watsonville. Huerta has spent decades championing the rights of farmworkers, women and the LGBTQ+ community. She’ll be joined by local activists Mireya Gómez-Contreras, Co-Leader of Esperanza Community Farms, and Ann López, PhD, Executive Director of the Center for Farmworker Families, as they discuss cultivating sustainable communities through organic farming and economic justice.
All proceeds from this event will benefit Esperanza Community Farms and the Center for Farmworker Families. Simultaneous Spanish interpretation will be available upon request. The Mello Center is wheelchair accessible.
