You are invited to a special event on Monday, March 16, at Wilburn Auditorium: “Honoring the Legacy: A Tribute to Cesar Chavez and Immigrant Workers.”
This is a wonderful joint initiative between the School of Public Policy’s Diversity and Belonging Committee and Seaver College’s Latino Student Alliance. It’s been great seeing our SPP and Seaver students collaborate to bring this together.
We have an incredible panel joining us to discuss immigration and labor rights, and I’m personally very excited about our speakers:
* Rosemary Gutierrez (CHIRLA): It is a special treat to welcome Rosemary back to campus—she is a former student of mine and a proud MPP alumna!
* Oscar Mondragón (Malibu Community Labor Exchange): I have had the pleasure of collaborating closely with Oscar on several of my community-based projects, and his insights are always invaluable.
* Alejandro Herrera (UFW Foundation): We are also thrilled to have Alejandro join us to share his expertise in research and data within the labor movement.
Event Details:
* When: March 16 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Arrive at 11:30 AM to meet the org reps!)
* Where: Wilburn Auditorium
* Food: Lunch will be provided for everyone who registers! Please use QR Code in the flyer attached to sign up for the event.
