“A Dia de los Muertos celebration event occurred in full-swing Wednesday, Nov. 2. Local organizations involved with the Protecting Oregon Farm Workers coalition took part in the event at Hermiston High School to honor the lives lost during the coronavirus pandemic.

Community-based organizations, including Oregon Rural Action, Oregon Health Authority and Oregon Human Development Corporation set up tables at the event to provide resources to community members attending the celebration.

“Today, we’re here with a lot of CBOs (community-based organizations) and decided to put on this event to honor those who passed away due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Zaira Sanchez said.”
