Join City Heights Defense Committee!December 18, 2025

Unmarked vehicles, plain-clothed agents who refuse to identify themselves, and home invasions without warrants scare us, and it should scare you.

Back to San Diego borderlandia, a must see iconic one-time show by performance artist Guillermo Gómez-Peña - writer, activist, radical pedagogue & artistic director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra In this solo performance monologue, performance artist and writer Guillermo Gómez-Peña presents a selection of classic texts from his vast “living archives” alongside recent work written over the past four years. This performance represents the fruits of the artist’s life’s work in all its iterations. Saturday, August 1 • 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM 2004 Park Blvd San Diego, CA Doors open 6:30, Performance 7:15 with reception to follow. Tag @centrocultural @lapochanostraworldtour @balitronica @mad.mex55 Get your tickets:Eventbrite @ https://tinyurl.com/Borderclasicos “My current performance represents the fruit of my life’s work in all its iterations: live performance, lecturing, archiving, literary work, mentoring, community activism, all coming together to address the dangers of the times we live in with its disregard for human life and insidious undermining of democracy. At this time in my life I am thinking as much about legacy as I am trying to continually produce socially conscious experimental artwork that is simultaneously plugged into the national debates. I have learned from decades of touring performance material to locations beyond the Border that a call to action - in the form of a work of art - has the power to elicit compassion and inculcate a desire for social justice. For me performance art is a form of radical democracy and citizenship which depends on the presence of the audience/community to succeed. I view my approach to creating this hybrid piece as “performing the archives” for multiple contexts: The art world, academia, community and the media. I am particularly interested in connecting with a new generation of audience members who may not have been exposed to the history of my generation, performance art and the Chicano movement.” See more details • • •	2 South Bay Banner Drop South Bay Banner Drop August 2, 2026 10:00 am - 12:00 pm H Street & Interstate 5 Business Loop, H St & I-5BL, Chula Vista, CA 91910, USA H Street over I-5 in Chula Vista.

Nearly a thousand members of DSA, Adalah Justice Project, and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action have called tens of thousands of constituents and driven thousands of calls to Congress. Your action directly contributed to historic votes against the annual military spending bill, the U.S-Israeli Deadly Military Merger, and military funding to Israel in the last couple weeks. We have the winds at our back, but so much more to do, which is why we’re hosting another supporter-to-supporter phonebank demanding the Senate stop the deadly merger and vote against the annual military spending bill (also referred to as the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA). We’re calling constituents of four key movable and influential senators—and patching them directly through to their senator’s office. These are some of the most pleasant calls you can make, chatting directly with supporters of DSA, USCPR Action, and Adalah Justice Project.

The mawal is improvised, spontaneous and an expression of truth sung in colloquial language. It’s raw, authentic, and comes from the heart rather than being polished or perfect. Just as the mawal singer shares their personal story through melody around a gathering, Mawal Mic creates that same communal space where voices can be heard without judgment. The connection runs deeper than just the name: both forms value emotional authenticity over technical perfection, create sacred space for vulnerability, and preserve the ancient tradition of oral storytelling in contemporary settings. We honor our cultural roots while providing a modern platform where every voice from our Black and Brown communities finds its place in the collective story. Mawal Mic is an inclusive third space centering perspectives that are often othered. Safe spaces like these matter deeply because they give us room to share our truths. It’s in these moments that we strengthen our voices, support one another, and build up our community. It’s where we remind ourselves and each other that we’re not alone in this. Come speak, sing, listen, or simply breathe in the beauty of shared expression. No pressure, no experience needed, just come through and be you. Poets, comedians, storytellers, musicians, and creatives of all kinds are invited to share whatever form of expression feels true to you. Sign up to perform by August 1st to secure the mic and be featured as a guest performer in our Mawal program schedule booklet! Limited spots open tinyurl.com/mawalmicperformer See link in bio *You also have the option on the day of to sign up to perform if you feel ever so inspired 🙂 This is a third space that is committed to anti-racism, anti-z-ism, inclusion, and collective respect. We affirm and welcome people of all identities and maintain zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment of any kind.

Nearly a thousand members of DSA, Adalah Justice Project, and the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights Action have called tens of thousands of constituents and driven thousands of calls to Congress. Your action directly contributed to historic votes against the annual military spending bill, the U.S-Israeli Deadly Military Merger, and military funding to Israel in the last couple weeks. We have the winds at our back, but so much more to do, which is why we’re hosting another supporter-to-supporter phonebank demanding the Senate stop the deadly merger and vote against the annual military spending bill (also referred to as the National Defense Authorization Act or NDAA). We’re calling constituents of four key movable and influential senators—and patching them directly through to their senator’s office.

Bob and I are sponsoring a showing of this incredible film. The entire amount of A SLIDING SCALE entry fee will be donated to Peronia Adolescente, as seen in the film. After 41 girls are killed in a State-run “Safe Home” and the government refuses to act, the sisters respond with a community comparsa—an exuberant street performance featuring towering puppets, fire-breathing stilt walkers, and thundering drums. With brave vulnerability, they expose a system that permits and commits violence against women, and they open up about surviving violence in their own home. Their youth movement takes to the streets, confronting corruption and reclaiming public space for women and girls. Rooting their efforts in joy and community care, they find healing for themselves along the way. The tickets are $5.00 and up (plus a small processing fee to Crowdwork). Peronia Adolescente empowers the local youth of Ciudad Peronia in Guatemala by providing creative arts education and civic action opportunities to combat violence and inspire community healing.

Please join us. We use these funds to promote activism in San Diego and surrounding counties. Our organization is 99% volunteer run and yet it costs thousands every month to keep fully engaged in local grassroots organizing.

Activism in Action

Networking for social justice and building coalitions for change.

Activist San Diego usually meets every third Monday of the month, from 6-8pm in person at the Joyce Beers Community Center in Hillcrest, and online. Please subscribe to receive regular invitations via email.

Thank you for your support and commitment to grassroots organizing!
