🌈RECORD STORES ARE FOR EVERYONE!

 

Record stores are pretty colorful year-round, but there's a little something extra bright about the month of June.  Look for this badge and others when you search record stores on recordstoreday.com. Stores can use them to let everyone know a little bit more about the people who run that particular record store! We'd link to it if we could, but you can only enter THIS contest by heading into a record store and scanning the QR code! (And while you're there, pick up WEATHERVANES from Jason Isbell + The 400 Unit! And listen to Jason on the RSD Podcast!)

farm workers on strike - photos / exhibition in mexico city

FARM WORKERS ON STRIKE AGAINST WISH FARMS   GUADALUPE, CA - 13JUNE23 - Strawberry workers went on strike against Wish Farms, a large berry grower in Santa Maria and Lompoc, for two days.  They demanded that the company stop cutting piece rates, and live up to promises of better pay.       The workers rallied in front of the company office in Guadalupe, a small farmworker town near Santa Maria on the central coast.  After trying unsuccessfully to negotiate with the company manager on the phone, they went to a nearby strawberry field and called on the workers there to leave and join the strike.  Some did, before the company called the sherriff.    Workers then went back to the company office where they continued meeting.  The company eventually agreed to raise the wages, and workers went back to work the following day.  They decided to keep organizing a union, which they called Freseros por la Justicia, or Strawberry Workers for Justice.   Most pickers are indigenous Mixtec migrants from Oaxaca and southern Mexico, but who now live in the U.S.  The company also brings in contract H-2A contract workers from Mexico.  The strike was supported by the Mixteco Indigenous Community Organizing Project.  People who want to support the workers can contact Fernando Martinez, (805) 940-5528, fernando.martinez@mixteco.org   Photos copyright David Bacon.  Additional photos here:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/56646659@N05/albums/72177720309076488         PHOTO EXHIBITION / EXPOSICION DE FOTOS   Mas Que un Muro/More than a Wall Photographs by David Bacon / Fotografias por David Bacon   International Meeting on Human Mobility 2023 Encuentro internacional sobre movilidad humana 2023   Museo Nacional de las Culturas del Mundo Moneda 13, Centro Histórico Centro, Cuauhtémoc 06000 Ciudad de México CDMX, Mexico   Opening - Conversation with David Bacon and Jason De Leon Inauguracion - Conversatorio con David Bacon y Jason De Leon "Between the hope and the pain: narratives of migration on the Mexico/U.S. border" "Entre la esperanza y el dolor:  narrativas de la migracion en la fronter Mexico-Estados Unidos" Tuesday/martes, July 11/11 de julio, 7PM   WHEN WE SPOKE OUT AGAINST WAR - Unearthing the history of protest against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Photographs © by David Bacon https://www.flickr.com/photos/56646659@N05/52759801492/in/album-72177720306862427/   IN THE FIELDS OF THE NORTH/EN LOS CAMPOS DEL NORTE Photographs by David Bacon Exhibitions - Exposiciones El Museo de Arte de Nogales Av.

These photographs trace the changes in the border wall itself, and the social movements in border communities, factories and fields. This bilingual book provides a reality check, to allow us to see the border region as its people, with their own history of movements for rights and equality, and develop an alternative vision in which the border can be a region where people can live and work in solidarity with each other. - Gaspar Rivera-Salgado David Bacon has given us, through his beautiful portraits, the plight of the American migrant worker, and the fierce spirit of those who provide and bring to us comfort and sustenance. -- Lila Downs Published by El Colegio de la Frontera Norte with support from the UCLA Institute for Labor Research and Education and the Center for Mexican Studies, the Werner Kohlstamm Family Fund, and the Green Library at Stanford University Price:  $35 plus postage and handling To order, click here:   https://david-bacon-photography.square.site/product/more-than-a-wall-mas-que-un-muro/1?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false "The "border" is just a line.
