I redistributed a portion of my stimulus check to FWAF because our farmworkers are essential to our collective survival and are too often treated unjustly. I stand in solidarity with farmworkers and all folds who are discriminated agains based on immigration status

Our Programs

Group of volunteers working on a community garden

Agroecology

The Agroecology program is part of our work on food sovereignty and environmental justice. We view the necessary change to the inequities inherent in the current food system in which we live to be rooted at the community level.

Worker Justice

The Defending Immigrants’ Rights Program is our work on informing immigrant farmworkers of their right and engage then in decision making and policy setting processes that impact their lives.

Health and Environmental Justice

We provide community education and influence policy related to health and safety protections for farmworkers. We work to improve access to quality healthcare; raise awareness of the harmful effects of toxic pesticides.

Civic Engagement

We organize and build the skills of farmworkers to address injustice in the workplace and the impacts of globalization and mechanization. We work with minority farmers to access the resources necessary to maintain and improve their farm operations.
