Nearly 700 in attendance. A new record!
Yesterday we had a blast helping put on the 6th Annual Santa Maria Valley Labor Day Picnic with the United Domestic Workers. It has grown into an extraordinary event, with nearly 700 people coming to enjoy great music, food and festivities this year. We had incredible student dancers (provided by the California Teachers Association), we had great political allies who met and spoke with their community, face painting, great food and an all around fun time for our local union members and members of our community. It couldn't be done without the help of our sponsors and volunteers from the various unions and organizations who have stepped up and grown this event over the last 6 years.
