FREE EVENT! Pre-event music with Juan Mendoza and bar will start at 2 pm. Event formally starts at 3 pm. Mariposas del Campo, an award-winning film by Bill Yahraus and Robin Rosenthal, shares the stories of indigenous Mixtec, Zapotec, and Purépecha teenagers from Mexico striving to change their families’ destinies in the strawberry fields of Oxnard, California. The documentary captures their journeys—with help from the characters’ own intimate videos—as they navigate cultural identity, parental expectations, economic challenges, and the justice needs of their migrant farmworker community. For young people whose lives have always been steeped in uncertainty, it takes a leap of faith to chase a dream.

Employment law firm LightGabler is presenting a free webinar, "It's Not Just For Playgrounds Anymore: Handling Bullying and Abusive Conduct in the California Workplace." The webinar is Thursday, April 28 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. California's imposition of formal training requirements and the increasing push for more laws against bullying in the workplace present a new and costly frontier for employee lawsuits, with little guidance to business owners, supervisors and human resource professionals on how to avoid potential liability and workplace strife. In this webinar for employers, supervisors and human resource professionals, employment law attorney Ryan M. Haws will discuss how to recognize, address and avoid bullying and abusive conduct in the workplace. Topics include workplace training requirements for management and staff, responding to and investigating employee complaints of bullying and what to include in anti-bullying policies. Reservations are required. Attendance is limited to no more than two logins per company. Login instructions will be provided upon registration and again via email the day prior to the webinar.
