We are a national network of students and young people organizing with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to eliminate sweatshop conditions in the fields and build a food system based on justice and dignity for farmworkers. LEADERSHIP: In all aspects of our work, we focus heavily on developing the skills and confidence of students and youth so they can organize for social justice around a broad array of issues in their communities. EDUCATION: We facilitate educational activities for students and farmworkers to come together in an exchange of knowledge and experience, cultivating a critical analysis that reveals the intersections between people on opposite ends of the corporate food industry. ACTION: We are committed to building a youth base whose understanding of social change and injustice in the fields leads them to act in solidarity with farmworkers. By supporting worker-led campaigns for better wages and respect and dignity, we are working toward a shared vision of collective liberation. The Student/Farmworker Alliance is the youth leadership arm of the Alliance for Fair Food.
