About this Event
Day Laborers Speak Out! Storytelling, Conversation and Solidarity Fair
Co-sponsored by Peralta Hacienda Historical Park to benefit their Day Laborers Project
Through dramatic presentations and in conversation with the audience, laborers will share the stories of their journeys to build new lives in the East Bay. The Speak Out! will provide a fully bilingual opportunity to learn of their hopes, fears and overall perspectives on the contentious environment they currently face. Come prepared for an emotional roller coaster ride. Warning: seat belts will not be provided.
Friends of La Peña Immigrant Rights (FLPIR) is a volunteer group founded to provide educational workshops and materials that explain constitutional rights, including for those who are undocumented. We monitor and protest violations and abuses of these rights while advocating for just and humane immigration policies as we celebrate immigrants’ contributions to our community.
