NFAW Documentary & Expert Panel on US Farmworkers

JOIN US FOR NATIONAL FARMWORKER AWARENESS WEEK

Every time we sit down to a meal, we rely on a workforce that is increasingly at risk. This National Farmworker Awareness Week (NFAW), we invite you to look beyond the produce aisle and connect with the community that feeds us.

Join us on Tuesday, March 31st, for a special event exploring the intersection of labor history, climate change, and public health. We will kick off with a screening of the documentary "Dolores," which chronicles the life of labor icon Dolores Huerta, followed by an expert-led panel discussion and a community mixer.
