Celebrating 'cruising' culture in the South Bay, members and supporters of the United Lowrider Coalition came together.
They gathered for their midyear conference, not only to mark the passage of new legislation that will permit cruising statewide, but also to recognize the support they received in their fight.
This legislation, Assembly Bill 436, paves the way for lowrider communities throughout California to honor their cruising culture and do what they love without fear of punishment.
While this new law does not officially go into effect until January 1, plenty of supporters in National City will celebrate throughout the weekend. A Saturday event had enthusiasts at Kimball Park in National City.
President of the United Lowrider Coalition Jovita Arellano described her reaction when she first learned the legislation passed.
" I started crying I was so happy," she said. "I called everybody saying he signed it he signed it. Today our coalition is so ecstatic about this celebration."
Assembly member David Alvarez, who authored the bill, grew up in Barrio Logan.
"This is really where it all started with the community of National City," Alvarez said.
