On Friday, October 14, at Mills College in Oakland, TEDxFruitvale: Harvesting Change 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 — Meet, Movement, and Money — a diverse cast of 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 how businesses could embrace fair labor practices. A musical performance closed each session.

Recordings of the talks have been posted on YouTube — see the Webcast page for links! We’re collecting questions for our speakers about their talks and will be putting together a Q&A. Send your questions to bonnie@tedxfruitvale.org — and watch this page for the virtual interview!
