Next Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez Pilgrimage March meeting – Friday, Feb. 21 at 3:30 PM

Leave a reply
This is your invite to the next Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez Pilgrimage March meeting this Friday, February 21 at 3:30 PM at the Pomona Pride Center (235 W. Mission Blvd).  This again will be a person-to-person meeting but the zoom link option is being made available for those out of the area.  The zoom link this time, provided by the Jesus Jacuinde from the pride center is: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/81008505320?pwd=xTPbvNmZKP3GW0NbjjxEPvQHMFZTvu.1
In our last meeting, we made a major decision to change the date back to Saturday, April 26 for the march – when a proposal was made, with the suggestion of the Ohlone, that we end the march at Tony Cerda park and make our speakers and entertainment part of the annual Pow Wow that is sponsored by the Ohlone.  In the spirit of bringing together as many of our diverse groups in this difficult period of time, we are excited to make this happen.  At our meeting, on Friday, we will further make important decisions on the route, the speakers, the entertainment, the publicity/outreach, the scholarships, and the plan for how we will collaborate with the Ohlone on the program once we enter the circle of the Pow Wow.  Attached are the minutes from the last meeting, an agenda, and the proposed program up to this point.  We have been running our meetings as a whole group and, since the meetings are hybrid with involvement from individuals outside of the area, we have expected the committees to meet in-between the bi-weekly meetings – and that our meetings be made up of reports and decisions together. To facilitate the hybrid character of this meeting, we thank the Jesus Jacuinde for providing the zoom link from the Pride Center – making it easier for those outside the area to join in and participate.

PPC Staff is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
