1935 – FDR signs the Social Security Act
President Franklin D. Roosevelt signs into law the Social Security Act on August 14, 1935. Press photographers snapped pictures as FDR, flanked by ranking members of Congress, signed into law the historic act, which guaranteed an income for the unemployed and retirees. FDR commended Congress for what he considered to be a “patriotic” act.
Roosevelt had taken the helm of the country in 1932 in the midst of the Great Depression, the nation’s worst economic crisis. The Social Security Act (SSA) was in keeping with his other “New Deal” programs, including the establishment of the Works Progress Administration and the Civilian Conservation Corps, which attempted to hoist America out of the Great Depression by putting Americans back to work.
In his public statement that day, FDR expressed concern for “young people [who] have come to wonder what would be their lot when they came to old age” as well as those who had employment but no job security. Although he acknowledged that “we can never insure one hundred percent of the population against one hundred percent of the hazards and vicissitudes of life,” he hoped the act would prevent senior citizens from ending up impoverished.

#UnitedFarmWorkers #MeToo #WhoOwnsHistory
From WTOP.com: César Chávez accused of sexually abusing labor rights leader Dolores Huerta
-
"We don’t need icons. We don’t need exalted, singular, near Christ-like figures who need to be seen as never doing any wrong for the good of a righteous cause. We need people who are willing to do the work and to work to create the kind of community in which victims feel they can come forward."

"Especially now, at a time when Latino immigrants are being demonized and face real danger from the Trump administration. Indeed, both Murguia and Rojas say that people pleaded with them not to come forward now, for fear that unscrupulous characters would use Chavez’s actions to further persecute people like them."

"Their stories are heartbreaking, even moreso because, on top of having to live with the assaults, they have felt they had to hide them in order to protect the movement and the work Chavez did on behalf of Latinos and farm workers writ large."

"Then, this morning, The New York Times published a deeply researched and damning report on how Chavez sexually assaulted at least two young women, and also raped his most prominent ally in the movement, Dolores Huerta, who came forward about this for the first time at the age of 95."

"On Tuesday, the United Farm Workers (UFW) announced that they would not be celebrating Chavez’s birthday this year, on account of some unspecified allegations of 'inappropriate behavior by Cesar Chavez with young women and minors.'”

December 4, 1970 - Cesar Chavez was sentenced to 20 days in jail for refusing to call off the United Farm Workers’ consumer boycott of Bud Antle, Inc., the country’s second largest lettuce grower. Antle had signed a contract with Teamsters Local 890 though only 5% of the workers voted to ratify it. Nor had there ever been an election for the workers to choose a union to represent them. The boycott had been called to pressure Antle to negotiate with the Farm Workers.

ICE Campaign of Violence Will Lead to More Deaths
Jaime Alanis’s death shows the horrific consequences of a secret police force behaving with utter impunity
from #TheIntercept
Natasha Lennard
July 12 2025, 7:12 pm"#ICE agents detained over 200 people in militarized raids on two large farms in Carpinteria and Camarillo, including a number of #US citizen workers and protesters who gathered outside the facilities in response to the raids. As of Saturday morning, at least two of the abducted citizens were still reported missing by loved ones and colleagues.
“Many workers-including US citizens, were held by federal authorities at the farm for 8 hours or more,” the #UnitedFarmWorkers union said in a statement. “US citizen workers report only being released after they were forced to delete photos and videos of the raid from their phones.”"

“They Actually Had a List”: #ICE Arrests Workers Involved in Landmark #LaborRights Case
“We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly #ProUnion worker leaders,” said a union official about a raid in western New York.
Noah Hurowitz
May 5 2025"An immigration raid in western #NewYork on Friday targeted a group of immigrants involved in a landmark statewide effort by #FarmWorkers to #unionize.
"On Friday morning at around 9:30 a.m., federal agents in unmarked cars and bearing no agency insignia pulled over a bus in Albion, New York, about 35 miles west of Rochester, and took 14 people of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms into custody. All of the detainees, who hailed from Mexico and Guatemala, were year-round employees of Lynn-Ette & Sons Farms, a family-owned business in nearby Kent, New York, which has been locked in a multiyear battle to prevent workers from unionizing.
"The company is one of five agricultural businesses that, together with a state growers’ association, have tried for years to overturn or chip away at New York’s 2019 #FarmLaborLaw. The law enshrined protections for the right of #farmworkers — whether seasonal or year-round — to seek union representation." 'This was strange because they actually had a list of most of the workers on the bus.'
"Several of the workers taken into custody on Friday have been active in efforts to unionize year-round employees, including at least one who has spoken publicly in favor of joining the United Farm Workers of America, according to Elizabeth Strater, director of strategic campaigns for #UFW, the storied labor union.
" 'We are concerned at the appearance of targeting publicly pro-union worker leaders,' said Strater.
"Most of the workers detained on Friday hail from #Mexico or #Guatemala.
"The raid did not appear to be a broad sweep but rather a targeted enforcement aimed at specific people, according to sources who have been in contact with the families and spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity to candidly discuss a sensitive legal situation."

ACLU won a lawsuit that resulted in mandatory retraining of 900 border patrol agents in California. Recent immigration sweeps were found unconstitutional. Agents were illegally sweeping farms, convenience stores, and parking lots where immigrants look for work.
