Northern California Tour - Davis

Right after Sac State we headed to UC Davis for the closing night of the tour. It was another success and a packed house! Interestingly, a huge part of the organizing was done via facebook -within 2 days of sending the invitation, the event had already 100 confirmed attendees! (We've now set up our own facebook page for Made in L.A. -Check it out here!)

It was also very interesting to connect with student issues on campus, in particular because one of the sponsoring orgs was Speak, a student group fighting for the rights of undocumented students. After the long and super interesting Q&A, we had another long line of students waiting to sign their DVDs!

Afterwards we went for a fun bilingual dinner with Prof. Almerindo Ojeda (second in line in the photo), director of the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas (who gathered all the support from the rest of sponsoring organizations), with Neta Borshansky (first in line in the photo), who put flyers all across campus,  and with new-made friends!

(Moises Park, who made the flyers and helped with the event, had drum practice and couldn't join us...).

It was the perfect closing event!

(This event was presented by the UCDavis Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas and co-sponsored by the Hemispheric Institute in the Americas, the Law School, The Department of Spanish, Women and Gender Studies, Chicana/o Studies, and Scholars Promoting Education Awareness and Knowledge -SPEAK.)
