Coalition of Immokalee Workers

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a grassroots organization based in Florida that advocates for better working conditions and fair wages for farmworkers, primarily in the tomato industry. They work to combat exploitation, prevent forced labor, and promote social justice through organizing, education, and partnerships with major corporations. The CIW has successfully negotiated improved pay and labor standards and raises awareness about the challenges farmworkers face, using nonviolent activism and strategic campaigns to bring about systemic change in agricultural labor practices.
