| Accion Latina is a non-profit, San Francisco-based organization founded in 1987 to promote social change and cultural pride in the Latino community. We produce a bilingual newspaper, an annual Latino music festival, and coordinate a journalism project for community youth. Our projects are a training ground for young people educating them on cultural traditions, increasing their social awareness, and inspiring them to serve the community. We are a volunteer-based collective committed to excellence in Latino education, art and culture. Our office is located in the Mission district, San Francisco's historic Latino community. | América Canta series: ¿Se acuerda cómo va este bolero? Do you remember this bolero? |

El Tecolote started in 1970 as a bi-monthly, bilingual, four-page tabloid with a press run of 5,000. Our primary goal was to provide a vehicle of information and organization to the Chicano/Latino communities of the Bay Area, articulating it's social, cultural, political and economic needs through our ongoing and timely coverage of issues. Today we run 16 pages and print 10,000 copies. |
The Encuentro del Canto Popular is an annual concert that celebrates and promotes nueva canción, Latin American music with a social justice message. |
A project focusing on youth between the age of 12-18, Fuerza Joven attempts to develop their creative talents in writing, music, acting and art. |
