19th Year in La Paz

Our 19th year in La Paz – after the teatros by students at Pan y Vino — with Dolores Huerta. Right after, we traveled with Dolores to a meeting of the County Supervisors to County supervisors in protest of a proposal to end a program that primarily served the needs of low-income, poor, immigrant, and people of color communities. Our students helped pack the supervisor’s meeting and we helped win a victory! The supervisors directed Kern Medical Center to immediately hire new family practice resident physicians Monday, ensuring the life of the program for at least three years.
