But Cesar had the ability to bring those workers together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really believed that all the roads leading out of Delano led to another grape field,” recalls Agtang, who went on to work as an administrator in Yolo County. “Cesar opened the door to the world for all of us. We were just little farmworkers, in a little farmworker community. I didn’t know anyone outside of Delano. I don’t think I’d ever been outside of Delano. And then in the grape strike, to see the whole world supported the union, and everyone stopped buying grapes, that was pretty amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filmmakers also built a replica of the adobe brick gas station at the 40-acre compound, which later became Chavez’s headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not remember this room being so small and so barren. Pretty stark,” says Paul Chavez, the son of Cesar, as he unlocks a tiny storeroom. It is empty but for a single bed and side table with a pitcher for water.

Directed by Mexican actor Diego Luna, the movie was largely shot in the Mexican state of Sonora, whose government helped finance the project. On the set, Luna went to great lengths to recreate sites in Delano, like Filipino Hall, where Filipino and Mexican strikers came together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m half Filipino and half Mexican, and the growers used to pit the groups against each other,” says Lorraine Agtang, sitting near the old strike kitchen. “It was the first time I felt like a whole person, because Filipinos didn’t hang out with Mexicans. But Cesar had the ability to bring those workers together.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really believed that all the roads leading out of Delano led to another grape field,” recalls Agtang, who went on to work as an administrator in Yolo County. “Cesar opened the door to the world for all of us. We were just little farmworkers, in a little farmworker community. I didn’t know anyone outside of Delano. I don’t think I’d ever been outside of Delano. And then in the grape strike, to see the whole world supported the union, and everyone stopped buying grapes, that was pretty amazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The filmmakers also built a replica of the adobe brick gas station at the 40-acre compound, which later became Chavez’s headquarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do not remember this room being so small and so barren. Pretty stark,” says Paul Chavez, the son of Cesar, as he unlocks a tiny storeroom. It is empty but for a single bed and side table with a pitcher for water.

The bill would have changed how agricultural union elections are held. Instead of voting by secret ballot on whether to join a union, as provided under current law, workers would express their preference by \"card check\"—in essence, by submitting a petition accompanied by individual authorization cards. The cards could be filled out anywhere—on the job or at home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers backed the bill, introduced by Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat.

Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a widely watched piece of farm-labor legislation: \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/sen/sb_0101-0150/sb_104_bill_20110112_introduced.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">SB 104\u003c/a>, the farmworker \"card-check\" bill. The bill would have changed how agricultural union elections are held. Instead of voting by secret ballot on whether to join a union, as provided under current law, workers would express their preference by \"card check\"—in essence, by submitting a petition accompanied by individual authorization cards. The cards could be filled out anywhere—on the job or at home. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The United Farm Workers backed the bill, introduced by Senate President pro tem Darrell Steinberg, a Sacramento Democrat. Steinberg, the UFW, and their allies say the change was necessary because farm employers have intimidated workers voting in secret elections held at job sites. Opponents of the bill, which predictably include agriculture interests, say the card-check system would make workers vulnerable to coercion from unions. (Here's\u003ca href=\"http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/site/node/9056\" target=\"_blank\"> the union's view\u003c/a> of the bill.

Journalist Pendarvis Harshaw takes us to galleries painted on the sides of liquor stores in West Oakland. We'll dance in warehouses in the Bayview, make smoothies with kids in South Berkeley, and listen to classical music in a 1984 Cutlass Supreme in Richmond. Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
