On September 13, the Common Ground collective in Algiers, New Orleans began the day with a meeting to discuss everything from staying healthy to the difference between martial law and a state of emergency.

The United Farm Workers formally filed
objections to the Sept. 1, Giumarra election. Giumarra workers
traveled to Sacramento today to demand the Agricultural Labor

ballots.
