Happy Thanksgiving to all, especially those who promote the Portuguese language and culture in California. Thanks for your service to all that is Portuguese.

The Portuguese author, illustrator and graphic designer Catarina Sobral will conduct a workshop with Fresno State’s Portuguese Language students. The recipient of the International Award for Illustration (2014) has authored 13 picture books and illustrated 10 of them, published in different languages in several countries. She has also directed an animated short film and wrote and did the art direction of a stage play for children.
In this workshop, after a discussion of Sobral’s work process, the students will be able to write a story in Portuguese based on her illustrations. The event will take place on Monday, December 2 at HML 2132. This event is sponsored by Camões, I.P. and the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures, with support from the Portuguese Beyond Borders Institute. All are welcome to attend.

PLEDGE to Write to "Portuguese"!

The next phase of the Make Portuguese Count™ in the 2020 Census Campaign is ramping up!

PALCUS is pleased to share this important information about exactly how Portuguese will be counted in the 2020 Census.
Here is an example of how a person who identifies as "White" race and is of Portuguese Ancestry but might also be Native Hawaiian would answer Question about: Race/Origins. (Take note, Hawaii!)

You can check off as many races and write in as many ancestries (up to 6) as applies to you and to each person in your household. Don't forget young children and infants - kids count, too!
