*CHARLA, Collective Health Advocacy for Radicals, Latinos/as & Africans

CHARLA (Collective Health Advocacy for Latinas/os in Action), which means DIALOGUE, performed for over 350 people at the Oregon State Capitol in Salem, on earlier this spring as part of the Oregon Health Action Campaign’s rally for Oregon Health Reform. A group of 12 members, including a child, of the collectives MUJER & Spect-Actors also met with the legislators from Gresham to tell their stories and ask support for their community health issues.

You can watch us in the video from the rally:
