This inspirational musical tells the story of Cesar E. Chavez, one of the most influential civil rights leaders of our time. It traces Chavez’s life from his childhood, as the son of migrant farm workers in the Great Depression, through his founding of the farm workers union and commitment to the non-violent struggle for social and economic justice. The musical focuses primarily on the five-year grape boycott which brought nationwide attention to the farm workers' plight. More info at www.LetTheEagleFly.com

Why we serve
Our volunteer board, committee members and fundraisers are passionate about LCSV's mission. The testimonial below speaks to why we serve, and what keeps us engaged in the work of the LCSV.
|
Patricia Castorena, LCSV Board Member since 2008
Sandra Cisneros writes, “They will not know I have gone away to come back. For the ones I left behind. For the ones who cannot out.” I am a member of the Latina Coalition because the women I have the honor of serving with inspire me and the young Latinas I have had the opportunity to meet through our ELLA Program continually remind me of the passionate commitment that first fueled my desire to be an advocate for my community.
|
|
Without a doubt, LCSV is an organization that has engaged me and allowed me to develop and strengthen my leadership skills. I joined the Board of Directors of the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley in October 2008 to empower young Latinas to achieve educational success and leadership excellence, and most importantly, to remind these future leaders of the importance of remembering where they came from and the need to give back to the communities that nurtured them.
|
If you are interested in serving by being on LCSV's board of directors, or on one of our committees, please e-mail us. The LCSV board is a great place to start on your civic engagement path. No prior board experience necessary.
