The Alliance for Fair Food stands with farmworkers confronting abusive conditions and sub-poverty wages in Florida.
These Florida farmworkers faced human rights abuses, including wage theft, sexual harassment, and health and safety violations. In 1993, farmworkers in Immokalee, FL from Mexico, Guatemala and Haiti united to become the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW).
Following the lead of the CIW, the Alliance for Fair Food has played a central role in fighting for greater human rights. Check out their website to see all they have accomplished.
