Welcome

Sacramento – Assemblywoman Anna Caballero (D-Salinas) will be introducing the resolution for AJR 2 Bracero, which would extend the deadline for Mexican laborers, known as braceros, to submit a claim to recover unpaid wages that were collected from their paychecks at the time of their employment under the bracero program. The resolution would also urge the Mexican government to accept a variety of documents as proof of a valid claim.

Sacramento - Assemblywoman Anna Caballero (D-Salinas) will be introducing measure ACR 39, which would designate April 30, 2009, as “El Día de los Niños: Children’s Day.” The bill would request that the State of California observe the day with appropriate ceremonies. The celebrations would include activities that focus on persuading children to express their aspirations and dreams in life.

Assembly Member Anna Caballero will join the California March for Water, to continue raising awareness on California’s water crisis that has forced growers to leave land uncultivated, and hundreds of farmworkers without jobs.

The march started on Tuesday, April 14, 2009, and it will end at the San Luis Reservoir this Friday, April 17, 2009. More than 10,000 people ended the rally on the last day of the California March for Water.
