1,000 farm workers from throughout California are in route to Sacramento today, the last day Governor Brown can sign their bill.<BR>
They are traveling from as far away as Oxnard and the Coachella Valley.<BR>
They are taking the chance of risking their jobs to help save the lives of fellow workers who face the danger of heatstroke from a lack of water and shade this summer. They are going without the day’s work to help the women who are afraid to report their foremen’s sexual harassment. They will do whatever they have to get this bill signed so that farm workers can have a tool to protect themselves from grower abuses and indifference.<BR>
This won’t be easy and it won’t be cheap. To send at least 13 busloads and several vans of farm workers to Sacramento there are expenses. Transportation and food alone for the 1,000 farm workers traveling today is costing $30,793 or $38.48 per worker.<BR>
<STRONG>Can you make a <A href="http://action.ufw.org/page/m/3bed9dd5/14563619/46d3923a/2b46b9a7/57467763/VEsP/" target=_blank>donation</A> today to help farm workers have one last chance to plead their case to Governor Brown?</STRONG><BR>
