We celebrate and remember the powerful and enduring life force that Luis Garden Acosta, our founder, was and will always be.
In this spirit, we invite you all to join the El Puente community as we launch a legacy tribute to Luis which will include a series of events and actions highlighting the crucial social justice agenda and human rights initiatives he devoted his life to, and that El Puente continues to forge. It is our hope that all of you who have been, and continue to be, part of this rich legacy will have the opportunity to share, vision and celebrate with us. We are also creating a Luis Garden Acosta Fund that will ensure the sustainability and growth of the El Puente Movement.
This legacy tribute will include a public “Celebration of Life” for Luis’ in 2020.
We invite you to visit our Legacy campaign page to learn about how you can support.
