DESCRIPTION:The Strawberry Justice Festival is an annual event held to discuss 
 injustices in the area of strawberry agricultural production in California 
 and as well as local community oppression. \n\nThis is a FREE event and 
 will be held on Thursday, May 19th from 4-6:30pm. Our event will include 
 live music, fresh organic strawberries grown at CASFS and local farms, 
 engaging tabling activities, and a great space to engage around land and 
 social issues surrounding strawberry production.\n\nDon’t miss our 
 special performance by Diana Gameros! Diana has received the Emerging 
 Leader Award from the Chincana/Latian Foundation for her work in music and 
 social justice activism. Gameros creates authentic, inspiring music that 
 reflects the 21st century experiences of a young indie artist at the 
 borderlands between cultures, languages, and 
 genres.\nhttp://dianagameros.com/\n\nIn addition, a dynamic panel of 
 leaders will discuss local, community injustices as well as worker 
 oppression in strawberry production. Panelists include Ann Lopez, Michelle 
 Glowa, and two Beach Flats Garden jardineros, Emilio and Federico. Lopez, 
 author of The Farmworkers’ Journey, is passionate about food justice and 
 has worked with farmworkers in Central California for the past 18 years. 
 Michelle Glowa is a UCSC environmental studies and sociology professor 
 studying food justice and urban agricultural movements in California. Santa 
 Cruz’s Beach Flats Garden has been a community garden boasting 
 agricultural and cultural diversity that is now being threatened by 
 commercial development. \n\nA second discussion panel features an 
 informative Cal Ag Roots Story Listening Session on the Bracero Program. 
 Ildi Carlisle-Cummins, Cal Ag Roots Project Director at the California 
 Institute for Rural Studies, and Ignacio Ornelas, PhD candidate in history 
 at UCSC and archivist at Stanford University, will tell the story of a key 
 moment in farm labor history: the organizing that ended the Bracero Program 
 and launched the United Farm Workers Union. Daniel Ruanova, a Tijuana-based 
 artist who works in multiple mediums and has partnered with Ornelas to 
 produce powerful pieces that tell the Bracero story visually as part of the 
 Bracero Legacy Project will also join the second panel session. This story 
 is part of a series of Cal Ag Roots stories that unearth hidden histories 
 of California farming in order to place current California food movement 
 work in a historic context. Learn about the history of California 
 agriculture and the injustices that are still being fought. \n\nThis year 
 the festival will be located at the CASFS Hay Barn near the intersection of 
 Coolidge Drive and Ranch View by the base of 
 campus.\n\nAgenda:\n\n4:00-6:00 Interactive Tabling\n4:10-5:20 Main Panel
