Cesar Chavez followed Dr King’s career since the 1950s Montgomery bus boycott. Whenever newspapers carried accounts of #MLK battles, the stories "would jump out of the pages at me," Cesar said. MLK reaffirmed Cesar's commitment to nonviolent struggle & inspired UFW's boycotts. 1/ 
Although the two never met, they corresponded. Dr. King preached that genuine equality was not possible without economic equality. "What does it profit a man to be able to eat at an integrated lunch counter if he doesn't have enough money to buy a hamburger?" #MLK declared. 2/
Only one month before his death, Dr. King joined in solidarity by sending a telegram to Cesar, who was then fasting for 25 days in Delano CA, to rededicate his farm workers' movement to the principles of nonviolence practiced by #MLK and Gandhi. 3/
🚨A motorcycle club just shut down a major road for farmworkers' ability to unionize. THAT'S solidarity with @ufwupdates!

When the California labor movement says if we don't get it, shut it down, we mean it! #AB257 #AB2183
Yall can keep your fake TV shows about bikers running guns and drugs that keep being based in Stockton. We got a real club riding side by side farmworkers and supporters and shutting down roads along the way. Put THAT on a Netflix series! #AB2183
Today the farm worker movement is out marching for #AB2183 and fair choices when organizing, free from fear and retaliation. This past Cesar Chavez Day we let California know we were ready to march.
California let us know we wouldn’t be marching alone. 🧵calmatters.org/california-div…

We’re marching for @CAgovernor Newsom’s support of #AB2183. We deserve choices in how we access the democratic process of union elections.
As things are now, elections are held on the growers’ private property under the watchful eye of the employer. fresnobee.com/news/californi…

Rooted in a historic legacy of sacrifice and resilience, our march is also a step forward.
California is ready for a bold, inclusive labor movement that will meet workers where we’re at. Solidarity, no matter where we work or where we’re from. #AB2183 latimes.com/california/sto…

Ever wonder where broccoli in your cruidité comes from? This is how it’s harvested. #WeFeedYou
Check out this carrot harvest! FYI: Produce doesn’t show up in Wegman’s by magic.
Unrelated (because it doesn’t belong in crudité) but if you’re curious, this is how asparagus is harvested.
Our march continues to grow. As we march, our sights are set on Sacramento and on our right to vote in union elections without intimidation or fear.

Farm workers are marching 335 miles across CA’s Central Valley. Today’s path covers 18 miles of that hot and dusty road. We arrive in Sacramento on Aug 26.
We demand @GavinNewsom’s support of workers like us who put food on America’s tables. #AB2183
