Have a Congregational Coffee Hour/Adult Sunday School class focused on learning and action.
Open with a prayer of thanks for those who labor in the fields to bring us our food.
Include a session from one of the Harvest of Justice themes: farm workers and the environment, gender based violence, and just immigration.
Show a National Farm Worker Ministiry’s video:
- Farm Workers and the Environment (coming soon), which shares how climate change is impacting farm workers and how groups are organizing.
- Maricela’s Story: Standing with Farm Workers Against Gender Based Violence, which tells the story of organizing to address gender based violence.
Follow the video with a discussion of reactions to the video and brainstorming about action ideas. Utilize one or more solidarity actions from the Harvest of Justice weekly resources: (1) consumer actions; (2) legislative changes and accountability; (3) enforcement and expanding of existing protections; and (4) services in support of farm workers.
