American Agitators Film Screening and Discussion

The UCSB Community Labor Center is proud to present American Agitators, a moving documentary film about Fred Ross Sr., one of the most influential grassroots organizers of the 20th Century.  Ross mentored Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez, co-founders of the United Farm Workers (UFW), as well as countless other organizers all over the United States, with his model of community organizing that is rooted in patience and deep listening.  The film's Executive Producer, Margo Feinberg, will participate in a 30-minute dialogue with UFW organizer and UCSB Labor Summer Alumni Jenny Alvarez and UCSB Community Labor Center Faculty Director and Chicana/o Studies Professor Ralph Armbruster Sandoval.
