Farm Worker Project (Cosechando Justicia)
Advocating for improved working conditions for farm
workers and their families in terms of improved wages, benefits and
access to services by direct and indirect advocacy at public agencies,
legislative representatives and private industry. Bringing the issues
facing farm workers and their families as a core issue for our
community. Opening the Loli Torres Farm Workers Service Center in
Calexico to inform workers of their rights and refer them to services
they may need and advice workers on matters of work and social issues.
85% of the farm worker labor cross into the Imperial Valley from
Mexicali in the early morning hours searching for a days pay and the
Service Center is centrally located among the major pick up points for
farm workers as they pertain to where they work and live for a
comprehensive understanding of the issues from a first hand basis.
