Justice for farm workers! How to support farm workers from around the country as they organize for justice If you ate today, you are connected to a farm worker. Most of the food in the United States is handpicked by farm workers. These workers earn very low wages, suffer exposure to pesticides, lack many labor rights and in many cases are victims of physical and verbal abuse. You can help change the food industry so that workers are safe and can live with dignity. Join farm workers in their struggle for justice. Attend this workshop and learn how to do it!
Workshop given by members of the Youth and Young Adult Network of the National Farm Worker Ministry (YAYA: www.nfwm-yaya.org).
Workshop will focus on farm worker issues, farm worker campaigns and how young people can organize in their schools and communities in solidarity with farm workers.
Workshop will stress the importance of student involvement in the history of the farm worker movement and will give participants ideas on how to get involved.
