Commentary: the Union of Their Dreams
“The Union of Their Dreams: Power, Hope, and Struggle in Cesar Chavez’s Farm Worker Movement.” By Miriam Pawel. Bloomsbury Press 2009. Commentary By LeRoy Chatfield, Founder/Director Farmworker Movement Documention Project I recommend and encourage those interested in Cesar Chavez and his farmworker movement to read Miriam Pawel’s book, “The Union of Their Dreams.” It is well-written, interesting, informative, and provides a context to understand one of the most tumultuous and gut-wrenching times of the movement. Using the stories of eight former United Farm Worker (UFW) volunteers – Chris Hartmire, Eliseo Medina, Jerry Cohen, Ellen Eggers, Sandy Nathan, Gretchen Laue, Sabino Lopez and Mario Bustamante – the author narrates the chronology of the movement from 1965 to 1989 more or less in a summary fashion with many historical milestones of the movement disposed of in a few paragraphs or a page and a half. The exception are the years 1975-1981 – 50% of the book – which are covered in far more detail, but still using the stories of the selected volunteers to weave it together. Of course, not all volunteers are equal. Far and away, this book is about Chris Hartmire, the director of the National Farm Worker Ministry, and his sometimes conflicted, but strongly held belief, that church and religious leaders should be an integral part of the farmworker movement for social justice by standing with, defending, promoting, and always being responsive to the leadership that is spearheading and organizing the struggle. The book is about Eliseo Medina, a teenage Delano farmworker who was instinctively swept up into the movement, took full advantage of the opportunities presented to learn how to organize, speak in front of audiences, and provide inspirational leadership, not only for farmworkers, but for people in urban areas who wanted to work fulltime in the movement and/or support it in a variety of other ways such as the grape boycott. -

Adios Amor: the Search for Maria Moreno
Latino Public Broadcasting | VOCES Season 5 Outreach Guide for Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno Thank you for taking the extra step to encourage viewers of Adios Amor: The Search for Maria Moreno to think critically about the film and its themes, and to share their thoughts with others in their community. According to U.S. Census projections, it is anticipated that the U.S. Latino population will grow by 167% between 2010 and 2050. As Latino Americans expand their impact economically, culturally and politically, they will contribute more and more to our ongoing national conversations about identity and empowerment. As the demographic landscape continues to shift, public media can play a significant role in building bridges of understanding by presenting audiences with trustworthy content and neutral spaces for meaningful dialogue. Community conversations hold tremendous potential to enrich our understanding of our unique and varied stories, as well as our shared values, forging a future as a nation whose strength lies in its diversity. This outreach guide offers themes to inspire conversation, as well as tips for planning events, suggestions for community partners and speakers, social media strategies and discussion questions, supplemental readings and free resources to accompany the film. Film Summary: Set in 1950s and 60s California, Adios Amor recaptures the forgotten yet epic struggle of Maria Moreno, a determined migrant mother who became an early outspoken leader in the movement for farmworker rights years before Dolores -

SEIU 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 2010 1 SEIU Foreword by SEIU President Mary Kay Henry Since my election in May 2010, I have had the honor of joining the celebration of inspiring victories that have moved us forward, even in these toughest of times for working families. I am grateful for the legacy of leadership provided by Andy Stern and Anna Burger, who worked so hard to build a strong and powerful voice for SEIU members. And I am grateful for the guidance, faith and optimism that I encounter in every corner of our union. We’ve accomplished so much this year. From our work at the forefront of the struggle for historic legislation that brought healthcare within reach of 32 million more Americans, to our commitment to restoring and strengthening relationships with labor and community partners, we have made tremendous strides. Once again, we proved that we can unite to turn out our communities at the polls, to stand as “One Nation Working Together,” and to help thousands more workers have a voice. We’ve shown that billions of dollars in profits pale in comparison to the collective heart of the 2.2 million nurses, janitors, home care aides, bus drivers and other mem- bers of our union who hold firm the belief that hard work must be rewarded with good jobs with decent wages and benefits—and respect. Yet, despite all of our efforts, times remain tough for most of our nation. One in six Americans is out of work. Every minute, two more families face foreclosure. Every 20 seconds, another American files for bankruptcy. -

Drake graduated from Occidental College, where he studied philosophy, and from the Union Theological Seminary. An ordained minister of the United Church of Christ, Drake was hired by the California Migrant Ministry in 1962 and sent to follow Cesar Chavez for three months in order to learn about labor organizing. Drake continued to work for Chavez and the United Farm Workers of America until 1978, serving as Chavez’s administrative assistant and coordinating national boycotts of table grapes. He continued to work with the California Migrant Ministry and other religious organizations throughout his time with the United Farm Workers.

Drake founded the South Bronx Churches coalition in 1987, which built more than 800 housing units (Nehemiah Homes) and a new high school. In 1994 he co-founded the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization to create similar housing units. Drake died on September 3, 2001. The papers of Rev. James Drake cover his years spent with the United Farm Workers of America.
