Migrant Farm Workers: The Essential Work Force and Campaigns for Change

Felix Garza, National Farm Worker Ministry

Farmworkers are the root of our supply chain and ensure our food's availability, quality, and safety. Even though they were recognized as essential during the pandemic, 2.6 million farm workers in the United States remain federally excluded from most labor laws, such as the right to unionize and to receive overtime pay, and remain among the poorest workers in the country.

Join us to learn about the risks farm workers face, their organizations, and their efforts to obtain a living wage and a safe, respectful workplace.
