Organizing and Rockin'

Friday, June 8, 2007

He organizes workers and he sings, too! Catch the incomparable Baldemar Velasquez this Saturday night as he and Jesse Ponce celebrate the release of their second CD -- Justice Has No Boundaries -- this Saturday in Takoma Park. Velasquez, President of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee (FLOC) and a talented singer-songwriter, will perform authentic Tex-Mex Movement music that puts the movement back in the movement, accompanied by Jesse Ponce on accordion. Joe Uehlein and the U-Liners open the show -- and will likely close it as well -- and all proceeds benefit FLOC, which organizes farmworkers.
