Saturday, May 5th
Spring Art and Literature Gala:
“Reclaiming Cinco de Mayo”
2 to 6 p.m.
Redstone Labor Building, 2940 16th Street @ Mission, Room 302, San Francisco
Admission is $25
The theme of this event is to rescue Cinco de Mayo from its corporate commercialization as “Drinko de Mayo.” On May 5, 1862, a people’s militia fought invading French troops in the town of Puebla, Mexico, defeating an army twice its size. Napoleon was planning to intervene in the U.S. Civil War on the side of the slavocracy. The intervention of the French could have been a decisive factor leading to a Confederate victory in the Civil War. After the battle of Gettysburg, Union forces joined Mexicans in their efforts to drive out the French monarchy and reinstall the democratically elected President Benito Juarez.
This is an opportunity to see and purchase independent art while promoting a more just economy! Funds go to the San Francisco Living Wage Coalition and a sister organization in Ciudad Juarez, Las Hormigas, to advocate for social and economic justice programs.
