Over the next two years, three high-profile media products will tell the story of the United Nations' Sergio Vieira de Mello and introduce audiences to the kind of conviction and insight that inspires movements. Sergio was murdered in Iraq while working for the United Nations in Aug, 2003. He had dedicated 34 years of his life working on refugee protection, peacekeeping and what has become known as nation building. In the months ahead Cause & Affect will be using the momentum generated by these products - a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Samantha Power, a compelling feature length documentary, and a major motion picture - to embark on a new campaign designed to educate Americans on Sergio's life and lessons and to use his story to ignite a dynamic constituency that can help navigate the complexity of foreign policy for the United States. Please join the conversation at www.chasingtheflame.org, where Power joins an eclectic group of scholars, educators, activists, humanitarians, students and citizens from around the world to reflect on Sergio's life and legacy, provoke debate, and discuss how this movement can have the greatest impact possible. This website can be used as a dynamic tool for classroom conversation. |

 UFW
Unveils New Multilingual Website The United Farm Workers is excited to announce the launch of its new multilingual website which will make its debut on Labor Day Weekend. The site will feature a stand-alone Spanish-language website which will replace the current Spanish pages the UFW offered at www.ufw.org.
The site will also feature a condensed Thai-language site for its Thai members.
The two new sites will act as a key resource for workers and their families regardless of where they may be in the world. With a simple click of the mouse they will be able to learn about their rights and find out what the UFW is doing on their behalf.
The UFW recognizes that both union members and their children utilize the internet in ever-increasing numbers. During an informal poll taken of members attending the UFW's convention Aug. 22-24, more than a quarter said they use the internet, and nearly 100 percent said someone in their family regularly uses the internet.
The two sites can be accessed at:
Some of the new features on the Spanish site include:
- The Juan de la Cruz Pension Plan: Farm workers can submit their information and see if they qualify for a pension.
- Union organizing: Details on heat, labor, immigration and pesticide regulations. Updates on the latest organizing drives and victories.
- Worker voices: Workers will be able to tell their stories in their own words.
- Hot Issues: The latest current news and events.
- Research: A place where farm workers, students, historians and reporters can learn about the history of the UFW and Cesar Chavez.
- Directory: A complete listing of UFW and movement offices and how to find them.
