The Farmworker Advocacy Network is a statewide network of organizations that work to improve living and working conditions of farmworkers and poultry workers in North Carolina. Since 2003, we have been collaborating to bring workers' voices to the legislative process.  

In the past, we have identified and led campaigns to improve housing conditions, pesticide safety and wages.
FAN members collaborate to: 
• Push for better workplace laws through education to the public, advocacy and research;
• Support efforts of farmworkers and poultry workers to be leaders in the worker justice movement;
• Monitor government agencies whose activities impact workers’ rights, health and wellbeing

Join us as we work together to make North Carolina a better place for workers and families.
