Latino and Latina Roundtable members celebrating with Frank Guzman – of the Unveiling and Reception of Pomona Valley Pride Center Mural – painted by artist Eric Michael Ruseo with the participation of numerous community volunteers. This last April, a Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta Pilgrimage march, in support of Human Rights and Immigrant Rights, began at the Pride Center with speakers and songs by Los Jornaleros del Norte – and ended with a ceremony by the Costanoan Rumsen Carmel Tribe alongside music, dance, food, and the planting of a tree.

Supporting Pomona Valley Pride Center
Supporting Pomona Valley Pride Center (outside and later inside) at Pomona Unified School board meeting in support of equity and inclusion and in support of our queer, trans, and immigrant communities – a unity developed with the Latino and Latina Roundtable and a coalition of groups who also came together in a pilgrimage march in April (from the Pride Center to Tony Cerda Park) that united around stopping attacks on our vulnerable and intersectional communities and advancing human rights for all. Adelante!
