Featured Events

Venezuela's Election and What We Can Learn
Thursday, June 9 at 7 p.m. — Connie Barbour Room — 1606 Bonita Ave.

In April, Laura Wells was on a delegation with the Chavista movement. Candidate Nicolas Mauro narrowly won the presidential election in Venezuela. Although the Carter Center affirmed that Venezuelan elections are the gold standard for elections, the U.S. is only country that does not recognize this election. Learn about the disconnect between the U.S. government and the dominating private media in U.S. and Venezuela and the reality on the ground along with the challenges ahead.

Suggested Donation $5-10. No one turned away for lack of funds. Volunteers appreciated.
Doors open at 6 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

Surviving the Border Community Dinner and Benefit: Building a Bridge Between the East Bay and the Arizona-Sonora Border
Saturday, June 15, 6 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall —1924 Cedar St.

For decades, migrants have been funneled through the Arizona Sonora Desert, the border's most inhospitable terrain. Hundreds, if not thousands, have disappeared and died. The growing number of migrant fatalities signals that a human crisis continues to unfold in our backyard.

This event will raise funds to carry out community-based research that seeks to undermine the systematic vulnerability of migrants that use the border as a weapon.

Suggested Donation $20. No one turned away for lack of funds. Volunteers appreciated. Suggested donation includes traditional Mexican dinner and a short film by Luis Baltazar. Silent auction and raffle, no host bar and music by Latin Beats. Reserve tickets with Cynthia at the Social Justice Center. Call 510-275-4272.
