grueling labor to grow the fruits and vegetables that land on grocery
shelves. Theirs is a struggle against poverty, sexual harassment and
demeaning treatment. Familias Unidas por la Justicia from Washington

boycott of Driscoll’s, the world’s largest berry company. Learn
how you can support this inspiring cross-border struggle! The short
film is followed by commentary from Chicano union activist Moisés

featured report at the monthly meeting of the Freedom Socialist Party.
