Raise Your Voice: Curator-led Tour
New York Activism Tour: Latinx Food Workers and Activism
In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, learn more about Latinx Food Workers and Activism with Alexandra Délano Alonso, Professor of Politics and Global Studies at The New School, and activist and artist Marco Saavedra of Bronx Oaxacan restaurant La Morada.
Alexandra Délano Alonso is Professor of Politics and Global Studies at The New School. Her work explores migration, memory, solidarity, and activism across borders. Since 2020 she has collaborated with La Morada Mutual Aid soup kitchen in The Bronx to document their work and develop courses and materials that can be widely used as educational tools.
Marco Saavedra is a member of the Dream 9. Now he's organizing in the South Bronx to benefit other immigrants, using his family’s restaurant La Morada as base camp for a community response team and gatherings to share knowledge and tools to fight ICE raids. The restaurant has become a true sanctuary space where undocumented people, families and allies can share, learn and eat.
