La Ofrenda, a community event and fundraiser honoring RCNV’s social justice past, present, and future will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 from 4-6:30 pm at the Resource Center for Nonviolence. They are looking to raise funds, shine light on those who have passed, and build community.
Keynote speaker Jonathan Cruz, former Chief Deputy Public Defender for Santa Cruz County and the first Filipino-American executive in Santa Cruz County Government, now serves as an attorney for the State of California. In this pivotal role, Cruz is spearheading the creation of California’s first state wide post-conviction unit to review claims of innocence. His keynote at the RCNV event will challenge attendees to consider new avenues for advocacy and reform, drawing on his extensive background in legal defense and civil rights.
Whether you sponsor a full or half table or come with a friend, by giving to La Ofrenda, you are not only helping us create a memorable community centered celebration but you are supporting the work of the center. The RCNV has served the community since 1976 in the areas of peace, nonviolent action, and social justice and is committed to providing accessible, high caliber education, training, and support to community-based, grassroots efforts as a way forward.
