THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING XICANA MORATORIUM

Sep 5

Thank You Community! After nearly a decade, EastSide Arts Alliance shut down the busy 23rd Ave and brought back “La Xicana Lives Block Party” as part of the annual tradition of Xicana Moratorium, the event commemorates and pays homage to the powerful legacy and resistance of the Chicano Moratorium that took place in Los Angeles in 1970.

This year's event was special, and felt like more than a tribute, it was a living expression of community safety, unity and cultural pride! Thank you for everyone's effort & participation from our volunteers to performers to everyone who showed up and showed love! and Special thank you to Youth Alive for co-sponsoring. The Motorcycle Club REDRUM & the Brown Berets for being part of the street safety team, plus Puerto Rican Street Cuisine and Moe’s Pizza for the food donations.
