Celebrating Farmworkers

Got food on your plate? Thank a farmworker!

Last week was Farmworker Awareness Week! If you’re a regular reader of our blog, you know that one week of thinking about the role of workers in the food system is just the beginning — check out Student Action for Farmworkers and Student Farmworker Alliance for how to stand up for the rights of farmworkers all year.

And for something to look forward to, watch the trailer for “Food Chains,” a documentary in the works featuring our friends the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, Dolores Huerta, Eric Schlosser and Executive Producer Eva Longoria.
