Cesar Chavez Celebration on Apr. 11 in Berkeley Ecology Center

[Guest guest]

Celebrating Cesar Chavez and the Farmworkers' Movement

Friday, April 11, 2008

 

Come celebrate the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez. We will be

screening the Cesar E. Chavez Foundation film " Common Man, Uncommon

Vision: The Cesar Chavez Story " and " Immokalee: From Slavery to

Freedom, " which documents the current actions of a Florida union to

end the inhumane conditions experienced by farmworkers who grow and

harvest the food used by the fast-food industry. We will hear from a

local expert or two on current food justice issues and information

will be on hand about the movement today and current campaigns to

protect workers and the environment. The evening will also include

tasty organic snacks to accompany the film screenings!

 

Time: 7pm - 9pm

Location: Ecology Center, 2530 San Pablo Ave, near Dwight Way,
