Consider La Indita has been serving delicious food for countless ITZABOUTIME benefit events since 1983.
Consider Charlie King has been bringing a musical spirit sparkle and sanity to his annual Tucson concerts since 1979. He’s sung to help us raise thousands upon thousands of dollars for Primavera, Clinica Amistad, CAADP, Mexican American Studies, Occupy Tucson, No More Deaths, Protection Network, Border Patrol Victims Network, singing on our picket lines, Peace Fairs, and schools, singing labor history. We’ve learned to agree with Pete Seeger that Charlie “one of the finest singers and songwriters of our time.” Besides being the “real deal.”
