Together, farmworkers and consumers have blazed a path to change that reality. The success of the Fair Food Program has proven that a model for change that is driven by workers and backed by market enforcement has the power to transform the agricultural industry: from “ground zero for modern-day slavery”, in the words of a federal prosecutor in 2008, to “the best working environment in American agriculture,” in the words of a labor expert in the New York Times, less than a decade later.
With over 10 years of hard-won experience ensuring protection of farmworkers' rights in the fields, the Fair Food Program pioneered a new model for securing human rights, economic security, and the ability to speak freely on U.S. farms – and beyond.
To continue this work and to expand it into new fields nationwide and across the globe, we need your help to reach more farmworkers with the critical protections of the Fair Food Program. Can we count on you to make your first donation to support our work this Giving Tuesday?
