Vision

We ENVISION a world where students and community members actively work together with farmworkers for justice in the agricultural system.

We envision communities where there is greater interaction, communication, and understanding among people of different backgrounds.

We envision a world in which farmworkers are empowered to take leadership in the farmworker justice movement and their local communities.

We envision a world where consumers will be more aware of where their food comes from, who grows it, harvests it, and packages it, and the conditions of its production.

One day, all farmworkers will have dignity in their work and livelihood. People United Will Never Be Defeated!
