Adventure Day at Southgate Plaza

Southgate Plaza in South Sacramento put on a family event to promote the shopping center and they invited ACT-UP to be a part of it. Southgate Plaza also adopted a smoke-free policy as a part of the Adventure Day event. Thanks to all of our youth volunteers for attending and helping out in the humid and hot weather that day.

Filipino Fiesta

On a rather interesting June day, ACT-UP along with our youth volunteers attended the annual Filipino Fiesta at the Jose Rizal Community Center in Sacramento. After an hour of chaos, we finally settled in and set up our booth. The Filipino Fiesta also adopted a smoke-free policy that day.

Smoke-free policy at Buddha Day Celebration
