Directed
by
Mark
Valdez
A
mysterious
traveler
named
Flor
appears
in
a
field
of
California
wildflowers
overlooking
the
land
immortalized
by
Steinbeck's
'Grapes
of
Wrath'.
As
she
walks,
generations
of
migrants
-‐
from
the
Dust
Bowl
to
the
present
day
-‐
appear
beside
her.
Their
worlds
and
their
voices
collide.
What
happens
when
families
from
contemporary
Mexico
and
1930s
Oklahoma
speak,
laugh,
and
work
in
the
fields
together?
A
story
as
unpredictable
as
a
field
of
wildflowers,
and
as
filled
with
color
and
life.

PAST EVENTS
In October 2012 we held receptions to celebrate the newly selected Luke Cole Memorial Fellow with two receptions in New York and San Francisco.
NEW YORK RECEPTION Thursday, October 4th, 5:30-8:00 PM Hosted by Natural Resources Defense Council 40 West 20th Street, New York, NY SAN FRANCISCO RECEPTION
Monday October 8th 5:30-8:00 PM Hosted by Schneider Wallace Cottrell Brayton Konecky LLP 180 Montgomery Street #2000, San Francisco, CA ------------ Spring EJ Tour, Earth Day Weekend Feedback from 2011 tour participants: "Living in the bay area, it is hard to imagine - and therefore easy to ignore - the levels of pollution that our neighbors are exposed to only a few hours away. The EJ tour helped to illustrate the localized effects of some of these "clean" energy projects. It was inspiring to meet local community members who were advocating for their health and environment. The tour highlighted successful examples of how legal assistance can really compliment grassroots movements." -Catherine Mongeon "This tour directly connected us with rural Central Valley people and issues we usually interact with more generally. Now, I think about the individuals who gave us a first-hand sense of their daily lives amid large-scale food and waste processing plants, and their struggles to create hope for the future by protecting their community's health." -Kathryn Duke ------------ July 2011 Root Beer Party, enjoy our photos of the day. Donate to Luke Cole Memorial Fellowship, under "Program Designation" select "Luke Cole Memorial Fellowship."
