DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with Randy Shaw, author of the new book Beyond the 
 Fields: Cesar Chavez, the UFW, and the Struggle for Justice in the 21st 
 Century. In Beyond the Fields, Shaw reveals the untold story of how the 
 spirit of “Si Se Puede” that began with Cesar Chavez and the United 
 Farm Workers in the 1960s still sets the course for today’s social 
 justice movements. Shaw finds that the influence of Chavez and the UFW has 
 ranged far and wide: in labor campaigns like Justice for Janitors, in the 
 building of Latino political power, in the fight for environmental justice, 
 in the growing national movement for immigrant rights, and even in Barack 
 Obama’s presidential campaign. In fact, many of the ideas, tactics and 
 strategies that Chavez and the UFW so skillfully employed, like grassroots 
 organizing and the cultivation of young activist talent, were integrated 
 into the Obama campaign and even overseen by former UFW disciples like 
 Marshall Ganz.\n\nRandy Shaw is the Director of San Francisco's Tenderloin 
 Housing Clinic, and is editor of the online daily newspaper 
 BeyondChron.org. His previous books are The Activist's Handbook and 
 Reclaiming America.\n\n"Randy Shaw shows how the spirit, strategies, and 
 tactics of the UFW in its heyday still strengthen the U.S. labor 
 movement."\n-Eliseo Medina, former member UFW Executive Board, now 
 Executive Vice President of SEIU\n\nSponsored by the UC Berkeley Labor 
 Center, Institute for the Study of Social Change, Chicano Studies, 
 Institute of Governmental Studies, and others.\n
