I am John J. Roach, founder of the Law Office of John J. Roach in San Francisco. I have represented injured victims throughout the Bay Area and Northern California with extensive trial experience since 2009, and I am completely bilingual in English and Spanish.
My practice is exclusively plaintiff-side personal injury — including car accidents, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, Uber and Lyft accidents, wrongful death, and dog bite cases. I have recovered more than $25 million for injured clients in Northern California, including $6 million and $2.185 million in traumatic brain injury cases. I have taken nine personal injury cases to verdict and won all nine.
As a true solo practitioner since 2015, I personally handle every case from initial consultation through resolution. There are no junior associates and no hand-offs — clients work directly with me at every stage.
The initial consultation is completely free and confidential, and is available in both English and Spanish at no additional cost. I work on a contingency fee basis, which means clients pay no attorney fees unless I recover compensation. My office is located at 1388 Sutter Street, Suite 810, in San Francisco, and I serve clients throughout San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Daly City, and the broader Bay Area.

NAFCON is a national alliance of Filipino organizations, institutions, and individuals that responds to the concerns of Filipinos in the US and in the Philippines by creating an action-oriented platform that brings people together through culture & heritage, education, health & wellness, and advocacy.
Narika’s mission is to promote women’s independence, economic empowerment and well-being by helping domestic violence survivors with advocacy, support and education.
Narika was founded in 1992 by a group of immigrant women, who identified the need for domestic violence services in the local communities of the Bay Area. These women opened the doors of Narika by use of an informal familial model of service, engaging victims as sisters rather than clients, and providing assistance in several different languages. Their initiative duly evolved into the organized non-profit that today proudly serves the Bay Area as Narika.
Founded in 1993 by Jeevan Zutshi, Indo-American Community Federation (IACF-USA) emerged from a vision to empower Indo-Americans to engage meaningfully with mainstream American society while addressing issues directly impacting their lives. Rooted in Fremont, California, this nonprofit public benefit corporation has spent over three decades building bridges between communities and fostering genuine understanding across cultural and ethnic lines. The organization's core mission centers on bringing entire communities together to tackle serious issues while promoting positive relations through dialogue, cultural celebration, and collaborative problem-solving. What sets IACF-USA apart is its unwavering commitment to Unity in Diversity—not merely as a slogan, but as a lived practice demonstrated through its renowned Annual Unity Dinner events that convene diverse leadership, policymakers, and community members. These gatherings represent more than networking opportunities; they embody the organization's belief that meaningful change comes from genuine relationships and mutual understanding. IACF-USA serves as a vital resource hub offering financial assistance to individuals in need while providing educational seminars and cultural exchanges that deepen community knowledge and connection. The organization's leadership, comprised of dedicated professionals and community advocates, has consistently engaged with elected officials and international dignitaries to amplify community voices on critical issues.

The Silicon Valley Chinese Association Foundation represents a grassroots movement dedicated to elevating the voice and influence of Chinese communities in American public affairs. Established in April 2015, SVCAF has grown into a vital resource serving the Fremont, California area and extending its reach across the entire nation. As an integral part of Northern California's Chinese communities, the organization is driven by a mission to encourage active civil engagement while promoting recognition and respect for the contributions Chinese Americans make to society. SVCAF's approach centers on building community connections through educational initiatives, advocacy campaigns, and collaborative projects that address issues important to Asian American families and neighborhoods. The foundation actively engages in civic action, from organizing community information sessions on education policy to filing amicus briefs on matters of civil rights and equal treatment. Beyond policy work, SVCAF demonstrates its commitment to community welfare through donation programs, scholarship opportunities, and volunteer initiatives that strengthen the social fabric of the regions it serves. The organization recognizes that meaningful participation in democracy requires not only education but also platforms for community voices to be heard and valued. By combining grassroots organizing with strategic policy engagement, SVCAF empowers Chinese Americans to shape the future of their communities and the nation. The foundation's work reflects a deep belief that diverse perspectives, particularly from historically underrepresented communities, are essential to building a more equitable and inclusive society.
Founded in 1996, Afghan Coalition emerged from a vision to strengthen Afghan families and build a united Afghan-American community. Based in Fremont, CA, this 501(c)(3) charitable organization has grown to become the largest Afghan-American organization in the United States, serving as a beacon of hope and support for immigrant families navigating life in a new country. What began as a grassroots effort has evolved into a comprehensive community organization that understands the profound challenges faced by Afghan immigrants, particularly women and children adjusting to American life.
At the heart of Afghan Coalition's mission is the belief that every family deserves access to the resources and support systems necessary for success. The organization's bilingual and bicultural advocates don't simply provide services—they build relationships and foster understanding between community members and the broader social service landscape. Working from the Family Resource Center in Fremont, California, these dedicated professionals bridge the language and cultural gaps that often prevent families from accessing critical resources. With over 1,000 community members served annually, Afghan Coalition has demonstrated a profound commitment to the Afghan-American experience.
What sets Afghan Coalition apart is its deep understanding of Afghan culture combined with expertise in American social systems. The organization recognizes that true community strengthening requires both practical support and cultural respect. By centering the voices and experiences of Afghan families themselves, Afghan Coalition continues to build a stronger, more connected Afghan-American community where families can preserve their heritage while building prosperous futures.

FREE concert celebrating Afro Filipinx music roots and traditions only at Yerba Buena Gardens Festival
Few artists have appeared at the Festival more frequently than flutist, percussionist and arranger John Calloway. Whether he’s leading his own band, performing in the sextet of longtime creative partner John Santos, or directing the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble of San Francisco, Calloway is a Bay Area icon who’s been at the center of the San Francisco Latin jazz scene for some five decades. But his latest and most personal project yet, the Afro-Filipino Jazz Project, takes his music in a new direction. Founded in 2022 as a creative, interactive space, the Project is intended to bring together Afro Filipinx, African American and Filipino American musicians to explore a broad range of musical styles, with a particular emphasis on jazz idioms, African American roots and traditional and folkloric Filipino music. It’s one component of the larger Afro-Filipino Project, a platform dedicated to highlighting and celebrating, individually and collectively, the art practices and artists of the African American and Filipino American communities whose contributions have profoundly shaped our nation's artistic narrative. For this performance the AFJP features bass star Marcus Shelby, inveterately grooving drummer Deszon Claiborne, Latin jazz piano specialist Murray Low, saxophonist TJ Milan, Conrad Benedicto on kulintang, vocalist and dancer Ting Alvarez and guest vocalist Anna Maria Flechero.

FREE show with the legendary Joe Bataan in San Francisco, only at Yerba Buena Gardens Festival
Opening Set from MeloDious
Festival favorite Joe Bataan, a Latin music legend since the mid-1960s, returns to the Gardens for his third performance in the past four years. He made an indelible mark as one of the early stars of Fania Records with a seductive combination of doo-wop vocals and boogaloo, one of the era’s defining sounds. Born Bataan Nitollano to a Filipino father and African-American mother and raised in Spanish Harlem, he is the father of the Latin soul sound, crooning hits like “Gypsy Woman” and “Ordinary Guy.” But Bataan never stayed in one groove for long. He went on to expand his sound in the ’70s with his Ghetto Records releases, co-coining the apt moniker “salsoul,” though he adapted to changing currents at the end of the decade with forays into disco and hip-hop (scoring the early rap hit “Rap-O Clap-O” in 1979). Stepping back from performing in the early ‘80s, he largely disappeared from the scene while working as a youth counselor in detention facilities. It’s a dramatic story that he recounts with humor and searing detail in his 2024 memoir Streetology: The Legacy of the Afro-Filipino, King of Latin Soul. Since returning to music in 2005, he’s reclaimed his crown and is still going strong in his 80s, a fact made evident by his triumphant YBG Festival performances.
The last time MeloDious appeared at the Gardens the group was serving as house band for Cava Menzies’ glorious CO-LLAB choir in 2024. This year the rapidly ascending Oakland trio presents their own program of eclectic, soulful sounds. Grounded by keyboardist Micaiah, bassist Matthias and drummer Memphis Dempsey, MeloDious draws on a rich musical lineage that spans gospel, jazz, R&B and soul. Since forming in 2016, the band has captivated audiences with dynamic vocal harmonies, inventive arrangements and unmistakable creative chemistry. Their versatility and musicianship have led them to sharing stages with several Grammy Award-winning artists, solidifying their stature within the Bay Area’s vibrant musical ecosystem as stars on the rise.
Pre-show music from KALW DJ Marcus at 1pm.
