Talk: Abelina Ramirez, General Secretary of SINDJA

This Labor Day week, the CSRC and Latina Futures 2050 Lab are pleased to cosponsor with UCLA Labor Center, Mixteco/Indigena Community Organizing Project (MICOP), and Centro Binacional Para El Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño, a California speaking tour for Abelina Ramirez, general secretary of the National Independent Democratic Union of Agricultural Workers (Sindicato Independiente Nacional Democrático de Jornaleros Agrícolas, or SINDJA). SINDJA is Mexico’s only federally-recognized independent farmworkers’ union.

General secretary Ramirez’s first stop will be in Oxnard on September 3, followed by stops in Santa Maria, Salinas, and Madera.

Please join us for this important binational dialogue among farmworkers from Mexico and California.
