Fiesta De Las Americas is an annual celebration of our Latino Heritage. For Latino/a/x Heritage Month, Calle 24 had performers from all over the Americas perform right here on Calle 24. We were lucky to have so many people from all over the continent meet up and represent their countries. We also want to thank our relatives at the American Indian Cultural District for the opening ceremony. Calle 24, San Francisco and the rest of the Americas is on native Land. It is our duty as the Latino Cultural District to always acknowledge that fact. We really appreciate your time for stoppping by to watch a little bit about Calle 24 so sit back, relax and enjoy the video!

We welcome Alejandro and Paula, owners of the new IL POLLAIO on 2859 Mission Street between 24th & 25th. Although they are new to the Latino Cultural District, they are not new to San Francisco. Their original restaurant in North Beach has been making juicy, perfectly grilled chicken since 1984!

We interview a family dynasty of organizers in the Mission District. “I come from people who withstood colonization and who withstood all of these hardships knowing that I’m on the shoulders of giants.”

“We want to make sure that people have a platform, to pray, to feel your pain, to hear from one another, to grieve, to process this grief, and then, at the end of the day, we want people to go home safe.”

Alicia talks about her organizing history, how she left school to join Dolores Huerta on her speaking tour, and how she started working with UFW, all over the country. “Working for UFW has always been a passion for me because I’m giving back to my ancestors, my parents, my grandparents who have fought very hard.” “I always come back to the Mission. I feel very honored to be giving back to my community, the place where I was born.” “I remember going to my primo’s house, Miguel’s house, for birthdays, get togethers, my abuelita worked at La Palma for over 20 years, my parents got married at St. Peter’s Church.” She also talks about her commitment to her health transformation. On her work with Housing Rights Committee “We’re committed to helping tenants out, we’re accepting calls Mon-Thurs. from 1-5. Even though there’s a moratorium in place, that’s not enough, there’s a lot of tenant harassment, tenants are leaving, they’re scared. How can they save up for those six months rent, they’re not even working right now?” Call them at 415-703-8644 if you need help with housing. They have two offices, one in the Mission and one in the Richmond District. They also give counseling if you live in public or subsidized housing.

Susana Rojas, our new Executive Director talks about her history in the community, about being on the Covid 19 Latino Task Force, communications and outreach around educating businesses on guidelines and safety standards with care to make sure that nobody is getting sick. Right now Latinos are disproportionally affected by the crisis in San Francisco. “I’m extremely proud of being Latina, extremely proud of being Colombian, and extremely proud of being a woman. As a woman, it showcases the power that we can hold and the leadership that we can come and bring, to not only to maintain the culture, but to advance it and help it evolve and merge different generations to make our culture stronger. It gives me an opportunity to help my community, to be of service. My goal is for Calle 24 to be that hub, where people know that they can come, and maybe we don’t have the services that they might need, but that we will have the connections to get them the services that they need, and that whenever they walk by 24th and Capp, and they see that office, they know that that’s home.”
