TAKE ACTION
"Experience is clear. Farm worker life will not improve by acts of compassion alone. They are important but they are not enough. Basic justice comes through contracts negotiated and managedby workers in their own unions." Sam Trickey, NFWM Board

PRAY AND REFLECT
Prayer and reflection are the basis of our work and an important support. We provide several prayer resources.
A vital way to act in solidarity with farm workers is to respond to action alerts and to invite others -- church members, justice and peace groups, friends -- to do the same. Sign up here to join our announcement list:
Plan a Farm Worker Sabbath Worship Service for your congregation or community and raise an offering to support the work of NFWM. Resources that can be used at the service are available at Worship Resources in English or Spanish
VOLUNTEER
