Fall 2005 Video Still by Michele Black, Fall 2005 Banners Projects, Salinas CA This year we are working with the Center for Community Advocacy in Salinas CA., a Farmworker housing rights advocacy organization founded by Sabino Lopez. This organization offers farmworkers information and help in obtaining and maintaining decent housing, community leadership, civil rights and much more. This year we are broadly tasked to create public art that reflects the past, present and future of CCA's work in the Central Coast and Central Valley of California.
