2010's Farm Worker Awareness Week

CIW’s Fair Food Campaign (focus on Publix)

UFW’s Cesar Chavez National Holiday petition

FLOC’s petition to Reynolds American and British American Tobacco

Petition in support of Comprehensive Immigration Reform

DREAM Act Campaign in support of undocumented youth in the US
