 Killer Drones to Gentrification: The Struggle In Germany and 
 Internationalism\n\nLongtime Berlin activists Elsa Rassbach and Harald 
 Gindra will discuss from personal experience some of the key peace and 
 justice campaigns in Germany today and will explore together with 
 participants what can be learned for current struggles in the US.\n\nHarald 
 Gindra, a former German print industry worker, engineer, and an experienced 
 grassroots local politician, was elected in 2016 to represent the Left 
 Party in the Berlin state legislature.  The Left Party, the Social 
 Democratic Party (SPD) and the Green Party now make up the ruling coalition 
 in the Berlin government and have undertaken an extensive program of 
 progressive reform in the arenas of city development, housing, and 
 integration of refugees and minorities, with a focus on stopping rent 
 increases and gentrification.    \n\nElsa Rassbach, a German-American 
 filmmaker and journalist, was a member of the team that launched the PBS 
 NOVA series and is producer-writer of “The Killing Floor” shown at this 
 years LaborFest. A peace activist since the Vietnam War, she has led 
 campaigns on behalf of GIs stationed in Germany who resisted the Iraq war 
 and solidarity efforts on behalf of Palestine. In 2013 she co-founded the 
 German Drone campaign that has inspired large protests at Ramstein Air Base 
 and AFRICOM and played a key role in winning majority support in the German 
 Bundestag for a historic rejection, in June 2017, of the planned 
 acquisition of armed drones for the German military. \n\n\n\n7/23 Film: 
 Watsonville On Strike (65 min.) 1989\nILWU Local 34\n801 2nd St. San 
 Francisco \n\nhttp://www.laborfest.net/event/watsonville-on-strike/\nJuly 
 23 @ 7:00 pm\nFree\n\nDirected by Jon Silver\nWith Jon Silver & Frank 
 Barnacke\nIn September 1985, 1,500 Teamster-organized, mostly immigrant 
 women cannery workers walked out on the two largest frozen food companies 
 in the United States — Watsonville Canning and Richard A. Shaw Frozen 
 Foods in Watsonville, California. This was known as the “frozen food 
 capital of the world”. The workers faced not only companies who wanted 
 major concessions but also a white union leadership who did not speak 
 Spanish and who accused them of not being union members.\nThis historic and 
 powerful video “Watsonville on Strike” hears the voices of these 
 workers and their struggle for justice and control of their own union. The 
 strike lasted 17 months revealing the contradictions in management and the 
 unions.\nIt also shows the internal struggle in the union against the push 
 for a concession contract and the role of solidarity.\nJoining film maker 
 Jon Silver after the screening will be Frank Barnacke, who was a 
 farmworker, and is author of Trampling Out the Vintage: Cesar Chavez and 
 the Two Souls of the United Farm 
 Workers.\n\n\nhttps://www.ejumpcut.org/archive/onlinessays/JC35folder/WatsonvilleStrike.html\n\n
