What a transformative evening. As it has since 2005, this event helped us make a collective step towards healing and dismantling the legacies of colonization, genocide, and patriarchy, both in our immediate space and across the world. Our souls are still resonating with the spiritual guidance shared by every single elder and community leader present. Thank you all for being part of it! Special shout-out to Jesse Strauss for being an incredible collaborator, and to all the guest speakers and artists who made our walls vibrate with their truths, their wisdom, and their power.

Thank you for showing up for our friends at Casa Borinqueña!! We had a wonderful time in community. Big shout-out to all the organizers, artists, and collaborators who put their time and talents at the service of the community’s wellbeing. ¡Qué viva Puerto Rico! Saturday, November 11, 2023.

The La Peña that we love to see: full from wall to wall by different organizations, grassroots movements, local groups, and community members who care about the negative impact that the U.S. Policy has in Latin American countries (and around the world), specifically when it comes to their sovereignty and self-determination. We learned about Biden’s Cuba Policy and discussed ways to end this 60-year-long economic war that tremendously harms Cuban families and migrants. ¡Por una Cuba libre de embargo y sanciones! Thank you to Belly of the Beast, Richmond-Regla Friendship Committee, Bay Area Cuba Solidarity and Bay Area Venceremos Brigade. Sunday, November 12, 2023.

This day was special. Our Día de Muertos ceremony was dedicated to those affected by state violence, acknowledging their struggles and honoring their legacy. Our ancestors’ spirits joined us, reminding us of the enduring bonds of love and memory. We’re deeply grateful for your presence, support, and solidarity. Together we shared stories, remembered the departed, and called for justice and change. Special thanks to our collaborators Mayra Hernández and María de la Rosa. Wednesday, Nov. 1st, 2023.
