![["Congresswoman Helen Gahagan Douglas gave a speech in 1950 addressing the upcoming campaign for a Senate seat in California. She emphasized the importance of bringing facts to the voters and highlighted the Democratic program and record. She discussed the changing global landscape post-World War II, including the emergence of the atomic age and the balance of power between the US and Russia. Douglas supported the development of atomic energy for peaceful purposes and as a deterrent to war. She also discussed the US policy of aiding free nations to resist communist imperialism, particularly in the context of the Korean War. Douglas expressed confidence in the Democratic Party's ability to lead the nation to peace and progress."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_014_5_172_9_0012.jpg "The Battle for Korea: Uniting Against Extremism and McCarthyism")

They have published pamphlets and fact sheets, supported strikes and boycotts, and advocated for legislation at both the state and national levels. They have also taken action on issues such as foreign workers, sugar cane and sugar beet wages, migrant health, child labor, and education. NACFL has provided services such as distributing literature, providing speakers and films, and answering queries on farm labor issues. Their impact is multiplied through their wide distribution network and key action lists."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_014_812_9_53_0004.jpg "National Advisory Committee on Farm Labor faces financial constraints and staffing shortages, but remains committed to their mission.")
