El Mejunje
WHAT IS IT?
El Mejunje is a very popular bar club that prides itself on inclusivity. Silverio, the owner and founder of the bar, told us how he built this place as a haven for members of marginalized groups, such as the LGBTQ+ community. What is so special about this place is that no matter where you are from, what you look like, what your rank is, you will always be treated equally. It is a true celebration of diversity.

During Crisis
El Mejunje also becomes a center of mobilization during times of hardship such as the aftermath of a hurricane or the Covid-19 pandemic. They gather donations of necessities from ordinary people and households, then distribute these resources to those who need them.
