The Esperanza Peace and Justice Center is pleased to announce its 31st annual Mercado de Paz/Peace Market! The 2020 Mercado will provide a virtual alternative to corporate shopping by hosting our favorite local and international artisans and merchants, who consistently offer a variety of artful, beautifully handmade items centered around themes of peace, social justice, cultural diversity and ecological concerns. This year’s virtual Peace Market will provide our customers the opportunity to contact their favorite vendors and offer them support and sales during these tough economic times. Artisans are bearing the brunt of order cancellations and business disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Esperanza’s 2020 virtual Mercado will afford our customers the opportunity to support vendors they already know and love.
