Luis's family would like to mark this important date with a thank you picnic for supporters. Whether you came to the altar one day, walked with us, helped with our homeless outreach Rosca de Reyes, brought your students, you took interest in Luis's life, helped make the One Year Anniversary Commemoration of Luis's stolen life significant, donated funds to the family, you were his friend, and the countless other community efforts with which you have accompanied us. Join us! Details forthcoming, but we will meet at the altar as always at 10am on Shotwell and 19th, and will likely march like we did the very first time we marched with the family of Luis to Dolores Park to enjoy homemade cochinita pibil and other delicious Mayan Yucatecan food.
