County League Day - March 23, 2024

Learn

The Coast is an idyllic place well-known for its parks, beaches, hikes, and forests. Less well-known are the struggles of hundreds of farmworkers and low-income residents who make valuable contributions through their work and community efforts but live in harsh conditions with few services on the Coast.  

Puente de la Costa Sur is working to change that for the South Coast communities of Pescadero, La Honda, Loma Mar, and San Gregorio. Through its leadership development and advocacy program, Puente empowers communities to bring about change. Come hear from Rita Mancera, Executive Director, how farmworkers are advocating for better housing and providing immigration assistance on the Coast.

Act

After we’ve heard from our speaker, participants from both Leagues will discuss what they see as county-wide priorities for action the coming year. We will vote on those priorities and take them to our respective Leagues for adoption at their annual meetings.
