DESCRIPTION:8/11 SF Report From Struggle and Mass Strike Of  San Quintin Farmworkers In 
 Baja Mexico\nTuesday August 11, 2015 7:00 PM\n518 Valencia St. Near 16th 
 St. San Francisco\n\nJoin Gloria Gracida Martinez, a representative of the 
 Alliance of National, State and Municipal Organizations for Social Justice, 
 Spokesperson and a member of the Mexican Teachers Union will be 
 speaking\n\nIn March of this year, tens of thousand of agricultural workers 
 went on strike at the San Quintin Valley in Baja which is 200 miles south 
 of San Diego. This is the largest strike of agricultural workers in the 
 history of Mexico or the US in memory. These workers make billions in  
 profits for Driscoll and other US food multi-nationals while wages and 
 conditions of these workers are miserable and their children were even 
 starving. Most make less than $10 a day and many have to support their 
 families on these poverty wages.\nThe Mexican government at the behest of 
 growers and multi-nationals  sent  in the police and troops to crush this 
 strike and put them back to work. The use of police and military to attack 
 the Mexican working class is not new. NAFTA was about allowing these 
 multi-nationals like Driscoll to rip the peasants of their lands or ejidos  
 and force them to work on strawberry and other export crops for US 
 corporations.\nGloria Gracida Martinez is from San Quintin and will be 
 giving a report not only on the strike but what these agricultural workers 
 need from US workers and the people of the United States to help win their 
 struggle for justice and human rights.\n\n\nTuesday August 11, 2015 7:00
