Members of the United Farm Workers, a labor union associated with Delores Huerta and the late civil rights leader Cesar Chavez, were marching through Madera, California, in California’s Central Valley on the way to Sacramento, California, last Saturday.
California’s Central Valley is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the area, and billions in food products are grown there and exported across the United States, and the world.
