NATIONAL FARMWORKER AWARENESS WEEK  |  MARCH 24 – 31, 2018

National Farmworker Awareness Week (NFAW) is a week of action for students and community members to raise awareness about farmworker issues on our campuses and in our communities. In 2018 we celebrate the 19th Annual National Farmworker Awareness Week to raise awareness about farmworker conditions and to honor their important contributions to us every day!

Through Student Action with Farmworkers’ programs, college students spend their summers working full time at organizations that serve the farmworker community. In addition to this full time work, students work in collaboration with farmworkers on a documentary or theater project. For this year’s National Farmworker Awareness Week poster we are using a documentary photograph from SAF alums Lucero Galván and Guillermo Alvarado. We are very thankful to Bonnie Campbell, Art Director at the Center for Documentary Studies, for the beautiful poster design.

The image brings to light the reality many people are not aware of: that 85% of the fruits and vegetables we eat are hand picked. Farmworkers are out in the fields from sunrise to sunset working the land to feed the world. Through NFAW we hope to raise awareness about farmworker issues, honor their everyday contributions, and gain more allies to help us advocate for better living and working conditions in the fields.
