The Equity and Engagement Department participated in this year’s El Grito celebration. El Grito is an event that brings communities together to honor Mexican heritage, culture, and the historic call for independence. During the event, the team distributed Know Your Rights booklets, shared giveaway items, and hosted a photo booth to engage with attendees. Community members also had the opportunity to connect with local vendors and access important resources. Events like El Grito help strengthen community ties and reflect the Department’s ongoing commitment to equity, inclusion, and meaningful public engagement.
