Please join us this Saturday, July 31st at 9 am (2720 Barjud ave. in Pomona) to keep on sustaining Cesar Chavez Park (by spreading mulch, repainting the trash cans, and maintaining the community garden). Renowned artist Paul Botello, who painted the murals at Cesar Chavez Park, will be joining us as part of continuing the restoration and the preservation of the murals.

Fired Pomona College dining hall worker Felipa Sanchez to return to work almost 10 years after college fired her during Union drive!
Almost 20 years ago, in the middle of a Union organizing drive in the Pomona College dining halls, Pomona College trustees and administrators decided to check Felipa’s papers and fire her along with 16 of her co-workers.
A year later, despite the mass firing, Felipa’s co-workers won the Union. One of their first demands was the right to return to work for Felipa and all the fired dining hall workers, once their immigration status was regularized.
On Thursday, July 1, Felipa Sanchez will finally return to her job as Lead Cook with her full seniority! Come congratulate Felipa and help us celebrate her return!
When: Thursday, July 1
When: 9am
Where: The fountain in front of Frank Dining Hall.
