Bottom right corner has a small black union bug.

Poster has a drawing on the left of a man outlined in blue working with a hoe. The background behing him is yellow and red. On the right is a red background with text that reads, "Joy of Cooking/ Stoneground Hijos del Sol Teatro/ Berkeley Community Theater/ Allston & Grove/ Fri 28 Jan 8pm/ $2.50 in advance at the door $3.00/ Farmworkers Benefit." Ticket locations in small text across the bottom. The figure in the poster is using a short-handled hoe, or "cortito," which required dangerous stooped labor and was the focus of a farmworker health campaign that resulted its being banned in 1975.
