Latino Day June 12th activities!

1. Farm Worker Day.

𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐘𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐚, 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #SanMateoCountyFair 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟐 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧!

Farmworkers are the backbone of our food supply chain, as they are responsible for planting, raising, harvesting, and packing our fruits and vegetables. They are also critical in the production of dairy and meat, meaning all the food you eat daily is in some way connected to a farmworker!

When the COVID-19 pandemic paused our lives in 2020, we saw firsthand how farmworkers kept our grocery stores stocked with the help of others in the food supply chain. Through good times and hard times, their tireless work ensures the steady flow of goods from the farm to the market floor.

2. Los Cenzontles show:

• Los Cenzontles “both honors and upends traditional Mexican music, tapping deep roots as it flowers into something completely new, and distinctly American.” – The New York Times

Los Cenzontles (Nahuatl for “The Mockingbirds”) dig deep into Latino traditions to promote dignity, pride, and cultural understanding. The group has pioneered revivals of Mexican roots music in California, bringing traditions to new generations.

The Mockingbirds now create a powerful new hybrid sound – creating a fresh Chicano voice for a new generation.

3. More music!
