EFC 80th Anniversary Celebration: Honoring our Past and Creating our Future

We invite you to celebrate the EFC’s impact and leadership legacy while connecting with other alums and supporters. This is an intergenerational gathering — and an opportunity to participate in the EFC’s work. Jason Warwin (alum 1989) and Deanna Mousseau (alum 2015-17) will be our Co-Emcees. There will be a video showing EFC’s impact and we will honor former Executive Director Margot Gibney and former Education Director Jane Sapp.

On October 10, we held our “Votemaxxing with EFC!” InterGen Café. As with every InterGen Café, the inspiration and empowerment lie in the conversations and community-building in the breakout groups. Inspiration was provided by several people including EFC alum Miles Rapoport and EFC Program Director Jesus Salcido. A Voting Resource List was shared.

2026 Encampment Summer Program: Week Three

2026 Encampment Summer Program: Week Three

In week three of the Encampment summer program, Encampers met with local farmworkers to learn about their lives and share a meal. A vital part of the week was the continuation of the powerful youth-led workshops for their peers and staff. This week’s workshops were: Climate Justice, Education, Mental Health, and Immigration & Unfair Justice Systems. The 2026 InterGen provided an opportunity for the Encampers to share what they have learned and intergenerational dialogue.

Our latest InterGen Café took place on February 21 ushering in new leadership and kicking off a new chapter of the Encampment. We had a whopping 72 participants! 40% were alums and more than half of those alums were youth 30 years-old and younger. Also, 25% of the gathering’s participants were brand new to the Encampment. This is how we build our base and remain strong for another 80 years.

InterGen Café: Honest Dialogue, Shared Stories, Information, and Resources

InterGen Café: Honest Dialogue, Shared Stories, Information, and Resources

InterGen(erational) Cafés bring together members of the Encampment community for honest dialogue and shared stories, information, and resources. At our last InterGen Café, participants highlighted several areas of injustice and shared resources for coping and contributing. Of urgent concern is the injustice in immigration laws and immigrant communities. The spirit of caring community was palpable during this shared time.
