2010's Farm Worker Awareness Week

2010’s Farm Worker Awareness Week was an exciting opportunity for YAYA members to bring awareness about the farm worker movement to their communities. It was also an opportunity to mobilize others in support of farm worker campaigns including:

– PANNA’s campaign asking the EPA to ban chloryrifos

– 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
