 gets difficult. The most vulnerable (children, women, seniors, the 
 uninsured, minorities, the ill and the unemployed) face much greater 
 uncertainty. For the 30th ReUnion of the Western Workers Labor Heritage 
 Festival in Santa Cruz, Sunday, January 15, we are bringing together 
 cultural activists to share Dr. King's legacy to address the current crisis 
 of environmental, racial, sexual and economic injustice. Enjoy the songs, 
 stories, and calls to actions by a collage of performing artists from the 
 Bay area and beyond. Don't be demoralized, mobilize!\nWorkshops from noon
