RCNV's 50th Anniversary Fundraising Celebration
Join us as we celebrate 50 years of nonviolent social change at RCNV's Annual Fundraising Dinner and Good Harmony After Party
On Saturday, November 14th, 2026, from 5-10 PM, the Resource Center for Nonviolence will transform into a sacred space as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary during our Annual Fundraising Dinner & Community Celebration.
We’d love to have you with us as we look back on our history of local, regional, and global nonviolent activism and cultivate renewed energy for the loving justice-centered work that lies ahead.
As inspiration for this shared work, we are deeply honored to welcome educator, community organizer, theologian, and former presidential candidate Claudia De la Cruz as our keynote speaker. Claudia’s visionary strategy emphasizes our shared right to live healthy, free lives and our shared responsibility to show up in ways that make this shared freedom possible.
Why This Night Matters:
- Your participation funds RCNV's critical programs
- Connects you to a living legacy of Santa Cruz changemakers
- Transforms remembrance into solidarity and renewed commitment shared action
We're so grateful that RCNV Board Member Andrés Ortiz has agreed be our Master of Ceremonies for the evening. Andres received rave reviews for his July 2026 performance as John Leguizamo in The Western Stage production of Latin History for Morons.
We are also thrilled to announce that Musical Soulmates Performers Collaborative will once again grace our stage and and The Free Spirit Kitchen will be serving another delectable meal. Stay tuned for the full lineup of wonderful performers who will join us in celebration and scroll down for this year's menu!
Join us. Let's rise together... and harness energy for the world we're co-creating.
