The Santa Cruz Community Calendar
Santa Cruz County, California
Saturday, May 3, 2025
Join us behind MacQuiddy Elementary School in Watsonville for a powerful community event featuring legendary farmworker organizer and activist Dolores Huerta, as we come together to demand healthier, safer farming practices in the Pajaro Valley. This event is hosted by the Campaign for Organic & Regenerative Agriculture (CORA).
Dolores will be joined by community leaders and concerned residents to speak out against the continued use of toxic pesticides near our homes and schools—and to call for a transition to organic and regenerative agriculture.
Recent data shows childhood cancer rates in Santa Cruz County are 38% higher than the state average. It's time for companies like Driscoll's to protect our communities and lead the way by eliminating harmful pesticides near where children live and learn.
