Fight for Justice for Farmworkers in 2018

We thank our supporters and our collaborators for helping us carry out our vital work during 2017.  Best wishes for a happy New Year. But it is obvious that there are tremendous challenges ahead.  Your tax-deductible donation makes possible our highly-valued advocacy, education and litigation.  Farmworkers and their organizations are counting on all of us for 2018: 

  • Advocacy for immigrants, to win status for the undocumented and stop proposals for abusive guestworker programs.   
  • Labor rights enforcement to remedy and prevent wage theft, abusive farm labor contracting and labor trafficking. 
  • Support to labor union organizers.
  • Stop Scott Pruitt from rescinding and weakening EPA’s modest protections against toxic pesticides. 
  • Training community health promotion workers on health care access, cancer and heat stroke prevention, and pesticide poisoning.
  • Supporting farmworkers women’s campaigns to prevent sexual harassment in the fields and domestic violence.
  • Educating the public about farmworkers through traditional and social media. 
  • Litigating against federal agencies and agribusinesses that violate the law.
  • Engaging with businesses in the food and agriculture system for greater corporate responsibility toward farmworkers.
  • Enabling farmworkers to speak for themselves to policymakers.                

As 2017 ends and we plan for 2018, your tax-deductible contribution to Farmworker Justice is vital.

Thank you.
