The Stanford Advocates for Immigrants’ Rights (SAIR) will host a book talk about the newly published To Serve the People: My Life Organizing with Cesar Chavez and the Poor by LeRoy Chatfield.

To Serve the People chronicles author Leroy Chatfield’s career organizing for marginalized laborers—especially farmworkers and exploited working-class families in California—alongside famed activists including Cesar and Helen Chavez, Marshall Ganz, Bonnie Chatfield, and Philip Vera Cruz. At the event, Chatfield will read and discuss excerpts from his new book.

More about the author: LeRoy Chatfield is a former organizer who worked with Cesar Chavez to get union recognition for California farmworkers, created a Saturday school educational enrichment program for farmworker children in Bakersfield, managed the Northern California general election campaign for Jerry Brown, and built the largest volunteer charitable organization in Sacramento.

Lunch will be provided.
