used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

I am grateful for it.
I stand with United Farm workers.
You people need to grow a spine and stop letting white supremacists co-opt POC imagery.
✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
With the red background it's giving Third Reich. Not trying to undermine the efforts but visuals are important.
....and now it's really difficult to divorce those ideas in order to see these symbols in the way they were originally intended.
I am so sorry.
2. I made a secondary comment about Nazis stealing indigenous symbols, and apologized because I realize how this happens.
FUCK YOU.

Just make the bird less similar to another one.
My parents were blue dog Democrats and supported both boycotts too.
You cannot un-educate the person who has learned how to read
You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride
You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore
-Cesar Chavez
He still inspires thousands more with the same commitment to equal rights and humane and safe working conditions for all workers across industries—to also run for the assembly, congress, and senate! ✊🏽
The letter i needs an acute accent mark, like this: sí

Remember Dorthea Lange and her famous ‘dust bowl’ photos of the 1930s? (Nipomo, California)
Some folks seem to have forgotten that their relatives once were ‘Migrants.’

I just thought things must have changed must faster than this.
That banner
Kinda looks familiar
Not sure where though
Oh
https://ufw.org/ufw-trademarks/
It’s cool
It’s the red square and white circle that are kinda dodgy with the eagle in the middle
Lol
"He squared off the wing edges so that the eagle would be easier for union members to draw and sew on handmade red flags that would offer courage to farm workers as their own powerful symbol."
This is 1 to 1 the visual language of the Nazis: red flag, white circle, black logo (with eagle), reference to the Roman Empire and the German Empire
¡Si se puede!

If not, it's an invitation for ICE to show up and kidnap legal immigrants.
Make sure your papers are in order or stay away.
100% respect and love for these farmworkers but be careful!
the migrant farm workers are salt of the earth people & we are lucky to have them harvesting our food
shame on anyone who disrespects them
No toilets? Fuckssake
It looks a little...worrisome?
Live and learn.

This eating your own - the constant loop of vilifying is not the move.
I’m not worried about this when ICE is disappearing people for thought crimes.
It’s been used for decades.
Like, I’m glad there’s so much organization. But the imagery leaves much to be desired.
I’m still of the opinion they could use a rebranding, especially at a time when they need more supporters.

The only thing spinning faster than the likes for this clip is Chavez in his fucking grave!
https://ufw.org/ufw-trademar...
maybe a black logo on a white circle on a red background isn't the best choice for a logo, especially not one that has a blocky eagle on it
His movement was undeniably beneficial to advancing farmer's rights but also... yikes.

You probably already know more about American history than most Americans, to be honest.
isn't socialism horrifying - human health and wellbeing are essential for sustainable business. 😇
A brilliant poem on the very subject.
Si se puede! ✊🏽✊🏽
Thank God for advocates like Cesar Chavez- what a great man he was! 💙💙
The United Farm workers.
Cesar Chavez was known as an autocratic communist.
Also, you might REALLY want to read up on what the original German Workers Party belived. Trust me.

(Though, I guess with UFW's heavy focus on opposing "illegal" immigrants, they're a decent bit further right wing then they'd like to claim anyway)
You're deflecting to an eagle when the problem is the entire package, not the fucking eagle.
Perhaps you're blue maga.

Empathy has a way of paying itself back. But callousness does, too.

And it's Key and Peele. At least get that much right.
Go back to X
The Aztec eagle has significant meaning and the colors have nothing to do with Nazis.
BS take. You're like one of those white people crying about how Indians should stop using swastika bc white people ruined it.
If it predated the nazis then you can call me bigoted, but it's not so it isn't.
I'm not saying this organisation is a fascist one, but why would you emulate their iconography? It's a kay and peele sketch
but
don’t you think you should also credit
Dolores Huerta?
Viva la Mexico!!!
A very sick society.
