About this event

🌟 You’re Invited! A Special Community Re-Union at Coachella Library 🌟

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon with Christian Paiz, former local teacher, now Associate Professor at UC Berkeley and author of the acclaimed book 📖 “The Strikers of Coachella: A Rank & File History of the UFW Movement”.

This is more than just a book talk; it’s a homecoming and a celebration of our stories. Christian returns to where it all began to host a “Re-Union” — an open, informal, and welcoming conversation with the community that shaped him.

✨ Enjoy:
☕ Free Coffee & Food
🗣️ Open Q&A with the publishers of Coachella’s very own Chicanx newspaper
📚 Candid conversation about local history, activism, and the power of storytelling

Everyone is welcome. Whether you’re a student, educator, activist, or just curious and bring a friend and join the movement that continues to shape our valley.

📢 Let’s talk history, community, and where we go from here.
