The Farmworker Tribunal is a forum of justice set up by Community to Community Development and Familias Unidas por la Justicia to bring attention to the truths that judicial and political forums ignore and dismiss.
Tribunals have a global history concerning human rights, where people have been able to name abuses of power and keep their lived experiences at the forefront, especially those who have otherwise been silenced by governments and other institutions with power. Without food, we cannot survive. It is critical to engage farmworkers in co-creating policy for a just and resilient food system if we hope to adapt to the climate crisis.
This is why Community to Community Development and Familias Unidas por la Justicia created the Farmworker Tribunal in 2013 to bring attention to the truths that judicial and political forums ignore and dismiss. At the 10 year anniversary of the Tribunal, we laid out a call to action towards systemic change to:
Ensure the health and wellbeing of farmworkers is protected and nurtured
Secure capital, land, and training to support Farmworker economic development
Guarantee farmworkers have the ability to shape government decisions- “nothing about us without us”.
This year, we want consumers, allies, politicians and legislative staff to know we are leading the way towards a real food system: “Campesinos Siembran el Futuro! | Farmworkers Seed the Future!”
Join us in Olympia on Tuesday January 21, 2025 for the 12th Annual Farmworker Tribunal, a full day of action- 12pm-6pm
Full event details and schedule can be found on the Farmworker Tribunal webpage.
