TEDxFruitvale

On Friday, October 14, 2011, at Mills College in Oakland, CA, TEDxFruitvale brought together farmworkers, farmers, activists, artists, students, professors, filmmakers, and entrepreneurs to celebrate the people upon whom we depend to harvest our food. In three sessions, titled <strong>Meet, Movement,</strong> and <strong>Money</strong>, 25 speakers provided a 360-degree view of farmworkers today and throughout history; compared labor’s progress with other social justice movements; and ended by discussing fair labor practices from a business standpoint. Three special musical guests performed for each session.
