So apparently this happens every Thursday night from 5 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sunrise Cafe on 24th near Shotwell.
LENGUA en SALSA: Happy Hour of the Movement!
** a weekly fundraiser for community organizations and neighborhood culture
** 20% of all consumption goes toward the featured organization or project!
I’ve been a Mission resident since 1998 and a professor emeritus at Berkeley’s J-school since 2019. I got my start in newspapers at the Albuquerque Tribune in the city where I was born and raised. Like many local news outlets, The Tribune no longer exists. I left daily newspapers after working at The New York Times for the business, foreign and city desks. Lucky for all of us, it is still here.
As an old friend once pointed out, local has long been in my bones. My Master’s Project at Columbia, later published in New York Magazine, was on New York City’s experiment in community boards.
As founder and an editor at ML, I've been trying to figure out how to make my interest in local news sustainable. If Mission Local is a model, the answer might be that you - the readers - reward steady and smart content. As a thank you for that support we work every day to make our content even better.

Thanks for posting this story! To all Mission Loc@l readers, please come by even if for just a drink or a pupusa… and bring the kids (I always do, every week). And we play music from all over the world, not just salsa (sometimes its even live music).
Also, this is a fundraiser for a different organization each week. You can search for “Lengua en Salsa” on Facebook to find out about our complete schedule of fundraisers (and contact us about organizing your own).
