Ruby Field Trip: Tour and Happy Hour at Acción Latina

The generous team at Acción Latina will be hosting us for Happy Hour! We will have a private tour of the newest exhibit and spend time in their space learning about the vital work they do. Acción Latina was formed from a class group project at San Francisco State in the 1970s. They sponsor year-round literary and performing arts events such as the Encuentro del Canto Popular and the Paseo Artistico community art stroll that brings free arts programming every other second Saturday. They also manage a collection of archival materials that document the history of social struggles and artistic movements of the Mission District from the 1970s to the present. You may also be familier with their publication, El Tecolate, the longest-running Spanish-English bilingual newspaper in California.

​Acción Latina’s mission is to promote cultural arts, community media, and civic engagement as a way of building healthy and empowered Latino communities.

​They are holding a summer giving campaign to help continue their free cultural programming, community media programs, and civic engagement initiatives. If you are able, let's help support our neighbor in the incredible work they do!

​*This is an intimate gathering for Ruby members
