SUMMARY:Early Farm Labor Organizing\, 1935’s Sebastopol Apple Pickers Strike\, and the ACLU’s Role-
DESCRIPTION:Presentation and Discussion of Sol Nitzberg:Sponsored by California Historical Society\nJoin Barry Nitzberg\, grandson of tar-and-feathering victim Sol Nitzberg\, and historian Ken Kann\, for a retrospective on early farm labor organizing and vigilante terror in Sonoma County\, California. Learn about the 1935 Sebastopol apple pickers strike\, the assault on Barry’s grandfather and other labor organizers\, the local community leaders who comprised the vigilantes\, and the ACLU role in the following trial. Barry and Ken review the impacts of the violence on Sonoma County\, its left-wing Jewish chicken ranching community\, and the Nitzberg family. Barry Nitzberg has deep roots in the historic Jewish chicken ranching community of Petaluma\, where he was born and raised. The grandson of Sol Nitzberg— chicken rancher\, labor organizer\, and tar and feathering victim—Barry and his family are featured in Ken Kann’s oral history of three generations of this unique immigrant community. Ken is a historian and author of Comrades and Chicken Ranchers; The Story of a California Jewish Community. \nYou can watch the presentation of this event by clicking here\nReview of this event by Oliver Pollak

SUMMARY:Whistle Blowers and Workers Rights
DESCRIPTION:Whistleblowers on the job are under attack. This forum will hear from whistleblowers about their struggle to defend health and safety and the public. Their actions are taking place in a period of growing financial corruption in our society. One of the whistleblowers\, Darrell Whitman\, who is a member of AFGE and worked as an investigator at the OSHA whistleblower protection program\, tried to investigate retaliation against whistleblowers from Wells Fargo\, Lockheed Martin\, FedEx and Test America. He himself was harassed\, bullied\, and illegally fired. When workers at regulatory agencies stand up for worker rights and they are removed we have a real crisis. The growing systemic corruption that working people and the public face is being challenged despite the dangers and at this forum we will learn from those who have been speaking truth to power. \nInitial speakers: Darrell Whitman\, Former OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program Cheryl Thornton\, SEIU 1021 CCSF Worker at Potrero Hill Health Center Matthew Zugsberger\, UBC 34 Whistleblower at NPS Drakes Bay Estuary Project Yesenia Guitron\, Whistleblower at Wells Fargo Bank Johnny Burris\, Whistleblower at J.P.
