Synopsis

Tonight's Guests: Rosalinda Guillen Washington State strawberry pickers sued Sakuma Brothers Berry Farm for wage theft, won $850,000, and created Familias Unidas por la Justicia. The union is supported by Community to Community (C2C), whose Executive Director, Rosalinda Guillen, describes its organizing stance. It follows in the tradition of Caesar Chavez and also employs the international partnerships and ecofeminist values and methods used today to confront global capitalism and empower oppressed people. Familias Unidas is now boycotting Sakuma and its distributor, Driscoll Berries. Rosalinda Guillen grew up and worked as a farm worker in the US and Mexico and began her organizing work when she was 38. C2C won the 2014 Food Sovereignty Prize, and the interview demonstrates why.
