For the last 30 years, we’ve celebrated the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at the annual All Peoples Celebration. In 2019, we will proudly celebrate the 31st year of this pre-eminent event and we invite you to join us!

In 2018, the Immigrant Integration Team at Alliance San Diego conducted 73 events throughout San Diego County, reaching nearly 1,500 community members.

On December 10th, the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium (SDIRC), a project of Alliance San Diego, held the 2018 SDIRC awards ceremony, to celebrate work that uplifts SDIRC’s mission to support migrant families.

Greisa Martinez Rosas, the keynote speaker of the 31st annual All Peoples Celebration, is a woman who needs no introduction. She is a strong, thoughtful leader, poetic in her speech, and wise beyond her years. Alliance San Diego was able to sit down with Greisa for a quick Q&A, and hear Greisa’s thoughts on her work, her experiences as an undocumented woman and youth organizer and the ways the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., help her grow in her work.

Read our interview with Greisa below, and to see Greisa speak, make sure to purchase your tickets to the All Peoples Celebration which will be held on January 21st, 2019!
