DESCRIPTION:On August 3rd, UFW Farm Workers launched a 24-day, 335-mile "March for the 
 Governor's Signature" from Delano CA to Sacramento in support of Assembly 
 Bill #2183, which expands options for farm workers to vote for 
 unionization. The bill would give more choices to farm workers so they can 
 vote free from intimidation. Farm workers would be able to vote in secret 
 whenever and wherever they feel safe.\n\nWhen marchers arrived at the 
 capitol, Governor Newsom refused to sign the bill, despite the bill passing 
 in the Senate. So now, the marchers are holding a 24/7 vigil at the Capitol 
 until the governor signs. 24 hours vigils are also now happening in Los 
 Angeles, Fresno, San Francisco and San Jose.\n\nWatsonville, let's show up 
 for our families and community members who are in the trenches everyday. 
 Currently, farm workers are not protected under the National Labor 
 Relations Laws, and not protected from retaliation by federal law when 
 engaged in labor organizing. AB #2183 would be a step in the right 
 direction to more protection for farm workers. Considering the high numbers 
 of farm workers living and working right here in Santa Cruz and Monterey 
 counties, the passing of this bill would benefit thousands of our community 
 members working in agriculture on the central coast.\n\nMany of the farm 
 workers here in Watsonville are Indigenous, and not having basic human 
 rights met. We can do more as a community. SHOW UP and GET INVOLVED so we 
 can organize for a more humane and just situation for the people that feed 
 us!\n\nOrganized by Campesina Womb Justice\n
