History is a call to action!
In our workshops, we learned all about the history of farm labor and immigration. We learned about protest movements. And we learned about the conditions that farmworkers face today. We hope that this knowledge will serve as a call to action. What can you do to make positive change? How can you contribute to bettering the conditions of farmworkers?
