Nuestra Comunidad

Nuestros negocios son la piedra de toque de Calle 24 y del Distrito Cultural Latino. Muchas de nuestras empresas y organizaciones sin fines de lucro han sido anclas de la riqueza de la cultura, la comida y el carácter de Calle 24. Es importante fortalecer, ayudar y mantener estas pequeñas empresas familiares para el futuro.

A través de nuestra promoción y asociación con el entonces supervisor Davis Campos, pudimos establecer The Legacy Business Program, que brinda asistencia financiera y legal a empresas que han estado abiertas durante más de 30 años. Negocios como Casa Sánchez, La Victoria Bakery, La Reyna Bakery, La Argentina, La Palma, El Nuevo Fruitilandia y La Gallinita continúan anclando el corredor, y lo han hecho durante más de 50 años.

Actualmente, muchos de estos negocios continúan la tradición familiar con la 2ª y 3ª generación al mando. A medida que aumentan los alquileres y los costos de hacer negocios en la ciudad, debemos encontrar formas de responder a un clima que cambia rápidamente y apoyar a nuestros comerciantes. A través de nuestra asociación con Invest in Neighborhoods a través de la Oficina de Desarrollo Económico y Laboral de SF, brindamos programas y servicios de fortalecimiento comercial.

Calle24 Fiesta De Las Americas Video

Fiesta De Las Americas is an annual celebration of our Latino Heritage. For Latino/a/x Heritage Month, Calle 24 had performers from all over the Americas perform right here on Calle 24. We were lucky to have so many people from all over the continent meet up and represent their countries. We also want to thank our relatives at the American Indian Cultural District for the opening ceremony. Calle 24, San Francisco and the rest of the Americas is on native Land. It is our duty as the Latino Cultural District to always acknowledge that fact. We really appreciate your time for stoppping by to watch a little bit about Calle 24 so sit back, relax and enjoy the video!

Conversation w/ IL POLLAIO Restaurant

We welcome Alejandro and Paula, owners of the new IL POLLAIO on 2859 Mission Street between 24th & 25th. Although they are new to the Latino Cultural District, they are not new to San Francisco. Their original restaurant in North Beach has been making juicy, perfectly grilled chicken since 1984!

Live w/ AfroXicana Organizer Simone Jacques, su Mamá, y Abuelita!

We interview a family dynasty of organizers in the Mission District. “I come from people who withstood colonization and who withstood all of these hardships knowing that I’m on the shoulders of giants.”

Mayor London Breed Speaks on Calle 24

“We want to make sure that people have a platform, to pray, to feel your pain, to hear from one another, to grieve, to process this grief, and then, at the end of the day, we want people to go home safe.”

Live with Alicia Bustos Sandoval

Alicia talks about her organizing history, how she left school to join Dolores Huerta on her speaking tour, and how she started working with UFW, all over the country. “Working for UFW has always been a passion for me because I’m giving back to my ancestors, my parents, my grandparents who have fought very hard.” “I always come back to the Mission. I feel very honored to be giving back to my community, the place where I was born.” “I remember going to my primo’s house, Miguel’s house, for birthdays, get togethers, my abuelita worked at La Palma for over 20 years, my parents got married at St. Peter’s Church.” She also talks about her commitment to her health transformation. On her work with Housing Rights Committee “We’re committed to helping tenants out, we’re accepting calls Mon-Thurs. from 1-5. Even though there’s a moratorium in place, that’s not enough, there’s a lot of tenant harassment, tenants are leaving, they’re scared. How can they save up for those six months rent, they’re not even working right now?” Call them at 415-703-8644 if you need help with housing. They have two offices, one in the Mission and one in the Richmond District. They also give counseling if you live in public or subsidized housing.

Live w/ Calle 24 Executive Director, Susana Rojas!

Susana Rojas, our new Executive Director talks about her history in the community, about being on the Covid 19 Latino Task Force, communications and outreach around educating businesses on guidelines and safety standards with care to make sure that nobody is getting sick. Right now Latinos are disproportionally affected by the crisis in San Francisco. “I’m extremely proud of being Latina, extremely proud of being Colombian, and extremely proud of being a woman. As a woman, it showcases the power that we can hold and the leadership that we can come and bring, to not only to maintain the culture, but to advance it and help it evolve and merge different generations to make our culture stronger. It gives me an opportunity to help my community, to be of service. My goal is for Calle 24 to be that hub, where people know that they can come, and maybe we don’t have the services that they might need, but that we will have the connections to get them the services that they need, and that whenever they walk by 24th and Capp, and they see that office, they know that that’s home.”
