Feedback Survey
Every year, farm workers harvest 80% to 90% of the hand-picked produce we eat in this country – what happens to them and what do they propose to change the system in which they work? In any discussion of economic systems, we need to hear the voices of farm workers. This session will feature an overview by the National Farm Worker Ministry, a faith-based organization which supports farm workers as they organize for justice and empowerment around the country. It will be co-led by a farm worker organizing partner.
