So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

The work that the organizers and leaders of UFW continue to do today is absolutely essential, and especially now, when immigrants and farmworker communities are under assault.

A little bit of good news.
A press release from the ACLU that says: 
LOS ANGELES - Today, a federal court found that the federal government's ongoing immigration raids in Southern California and its denial of access to counsel for arrested immigrants likely violated the Constitution, and issued two temporary restraining orders (TRO) prohibiting the federal government, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), from continuing its unlawful actions in Los Angeles and surrounding counties.
The first TRO bars immigration agents from stopping individuals without reasonable suspicion and from relying on four factors - alone or in combination - including apparent race or ethnicity; speaking Spanish or English with an accent; presence in a particular location like a bus stop, car wash, or agricultural site; or the work the person does. The second TRO orders DHS to provide access to counsel on weekdays, weekends, and holidays for people who are detained in B-18, the federal building in downtown Los Angeles.

The history of the working class is one of pain. But it's also one of resilience and victory. The billionaires, bosses, and their political allies want us to have nothing. The Murder Budget is a crowning achievement. They want the working class dead or locked up. But we will defeat them. With joy.

In the 1940s, the Taft-Hartley Act was passed. This banned sympathy strikes and boycotts, allowed employers to use paid work time to campaign against unionization, ended wildcat strikes, and created right-to-work laws. Yet, this served to do more than just weaken a union's ability to strike. 🧵
