People of the Americas Unite

Join us at the People of the Americas Unite event at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Cruz, CA! Let’s come together in a spirit of unity, compassion, and democracy to shape a more inclusive approach to immigration and foreign policy. This gathering will highlight the importance of respect for vulnerable communities and our neighbors across Canada, Mexico, Central America, and beyond.

Featured speakers include Dolores Huerta (via pre-recorded video, co-founder of the United Farmworkers Union), Camila Chavez (executive director of the Delores Huerta Foundation, daughter of Dolores Huerta, and niece of Cesar Chavez), Daniel Sheehan (Chief Counsel of the Romero Institute), and Chase Iron Eyes (Executive Director of the Lakota People’s Law Project). To close the evening, renowned Brazilian musician Poranguí will share his powerful music.

The day begins with a free, public rally at the Clock Tower in downtown Santa Cruz at 4 PM. Talks begin indoors at 6 PM, with music starting at 8 PM, and the event concluding at 10 PM.

This in-person gathering is a unique opportunity to celebrate community, build cross-border solidarity, and envision a healthier, more connected future for all peoples of the Americas. Together, we can create a more welcoming and inclusive continent!
