Acción Latina and the Calle 24 Cultural Arts District organizations, including Precita Eyes Muralists, are excited to announce the festivities lineup for a new installment of Paseo Artistico, the Mission's Free Art community stroll.
We'll celebrate “La Voz del Pueblo/The People’s Voice” with activities that lift the beauty and struggle of the 24th Street neighborhood through the voice of its artists.
This month’s Paseo Artistico will connect the fight for justice, labor and immigrant rights with poetry, music, and visual artists whose work reflects solidarity with social movements.

Brava Theater will host members of Los Siete Organization including Donna James Amador and Maria Ramirez, along with poets Cathy Arellano and Tongo Eisen-Martin, DJ Leydis and others.
In honor of the Cesar Chavez Day Parade, also on April 13 along 24th Street, Acción Latina will host "La Colectiva de Mujeres: Baile Colectivo," women from the SF Day Laborers Program, in collaboration with Dance Mission, performing stories in dance about their experiences of working and living in the Mission.
