Sacramento Falls UnderSeige of Popular Democracy

At last! The cry which has for so long gone unheeded, thevoice of the farmworker in the fields of California, nowechoes clearly, thousands-strong, through the legislativechambers in Sacramento.

Our voice has been heard! Governor Brown has listened,and, despite the enormous power of the Teamsters andgrowers, he has responded by proposing an amended ver­sion of his original bill, a version which breathes new lifeand hope into the farmworkers' struggle for fair treatment.

As has been true in the past, the boycott remains our mostpowerful negotiating weapon. Now, more than ever, weneed to be successful with the picket lines, the housemeetings, the awareness-raising, so that the legislators andthe growers remain aware of the unstoppable force thatsupports the workers in the fields. The Victory is near athand because everything that has gone into the farmworkermovement - the strikes, the boycott, the long hours, days,years of so many lives - is converging at this time, in thisplace.

Things will never be the same again.
