farmworker advocacy

Farmworker advocacy refers to efforts aimed at improving the rights, working conditions, and overall well-being of individuals who work in agriculture. Advocates work to address issues like fair wages, health and safety standards, and access to legal protections. They often collaborate with farmers, labor organizations, and community groups to promote policies that support farmworkers, who are essential to food production but often face exploitation and harsh working conditions. Advocacy can include raising public awareness, lobbying for better laws, and providing resources to empower farmworkers in their struggles for justice and equity.
