Just got this from the ozomatli website, peep it out.

This is the biggest thing in the history of the united farm workers
since the agricultural labor relations act in 1975 . . .

Get on the bus and join farm workers
on the final steps of their 150- mile
"March for the Governor's signature!"

SB 1736, which passed the Assembly 49-22 and the Senate 22-10, is the
most important farm labor bill since 1975. Twenty-seven years after
California's law granting them organizing rights was passed, 75% of
state farm workers earn less than $10,000 per year and 90% have no
health coverage, according to government figures. "This bill is about
basic fairness for the poorest workers in California," Rodriguez says.
