The sequel to
“Food Chains” — Fair Food Standards Council Executive Director talks about “the
story unfolding in the fields today”… Judge Laura Safer Espinoza: “It’s a wonderful story. It’s the story of a new day, and it’s a new day born of partnership.”
Judge Laura Safer Espinoza is not a person you will
hear talking with the press or making many public speeches. In fact, very few
people (outside of New York, where she served on the bench as a State Supreme
Court judge for twenty years) even know her name. That’s because she is the
Executive Director of the Fair Food Standards Council, the
organization that monitors and enforces the human rights standards of the
CIW’s Fair Food Program, and that job is a grind —
a painstaking, morning-to-night, seven-days-a-week grind. Her schedule
doesn’t leave a lot of time for public speaking.
But, when she does speak, it’s a good idea to
listen...

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
