Familias Unidas por la Justicia Farmworker Solidarity Tour
Creando el Mundo Que Queremos

Join Washington state’s Indigenous farmworker union Familias Unidas por la Justicia (Families United for Justice) as they embark on a Washington State tour to raise awareness about the problems with the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, a bill which would extend the H2A program and establish e-verify, an electronic data program that will contribute to increased tracking of migrant farmworkers in the US.

On MONDAY October 10, come learn about the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, how it affects migrant farmworkers in the US, and then transition into an action at the Gates Foundation.

  • 8am Breakfast and Teach-in at Denny Park about the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, led by FUJ members.
  • 9am Action at the Gates Foundation led by AGRA Watch, a campaign of Community Alliance for Global Justice
