2024 League County Day
Advocacy on the Coast: What’s Working 

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.  Puente empowers communities to bring about change through its leadership development and advocacy program.  Come hear from Rita Mancera, Executive Director, how farmworkers advocate for better housing and provide 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 in the coming year. We will vote on those priorities and take them to our respective Leagues for adoption at their annual meetings.
