The Fortuna to Eureka Procession is a long-distance community walk that raises awareness about the human rights of migrants in Humboldt County. By symbolically connecting Fortuna, home to the largest Latine community in the region, with Eureka, where the courthouse and essential services are located, we highlight the disparities and the urgent need for protection and dignity for migrant families.
This walk is a public statement in action that migrants deserve spaces free of violence. Every year we demand the closure of detention centers, the reunification of separated families, and the full implementation of sanctuary protections. Centro del Pueblo leads to affirm our collective presence in public space and to say: We are here to stay!
