~/ ant if Citizens Action Committee P. 0. Box 2295 Jackson, Ms 39205 July 6, 1973 Mr. William D. Ruckelshaus Acting Director of FBI f WU 9th & Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20535 7 (! . t, Dear Mr. Ruckelshaus: Equai protection under the iaw is being reduced to a myth in Coachella Valley California. No manifestation of local law enforcement is willing to provide proper protection to the members of the United Farm Workers, to individual farm workers, and to other individuals, who are working to better the conditions of life for some of the most oppressed working people in the country. Goon squads of thugs are engaged in terror tactics, physical force, / and violence in an effort to totally destroy the United Farm Workers' F- program, no matter what the cost. We as concerned citizens who fully support the right of these working people to organize and fight to improve their conditions without being subjected to physical harrassment and brutality, and with the full protection of the law, urgently request that you take immediate action to: 1. Stop the violence completely and at once. 2. Investigate, discover, and institute prosecution against those persons and organizations responsible for instigating the violence. 3. Take all necessary steps to insure proper functioning of local é law enforcement agencies. Ree. ' 7 Fo ray . EA 1US IZ JUL 13 1973
