Join the Tribunal, hosted by the Food Chain Workers Alliance, at The People’s Forum in New York City in March 29-31, 2024! Grassroots farmworker organizations from the United States and Canada will convene a People’s Tribunal on the Struggles of Farmworkers in North America.
The Tribunal will be open to the public for our opening session on Friday March 29th from 3-4pm and for our hearings taking place between 10:00am to 7:30 on March 30th.
In this participatory process, workers, organizers and members of the public will hear direct testimony from U.S. and Canadian farmworkers on the daily conditions they face, what protections they need, and what organizing goals should be prioritized in worker-led movements.
The tribunal will focus broadly on three priority areas for the future of farmworker labor organizing: health & safety, freedom of movement, and climate justice. A post-tribunal report will capture all testimonies and articulate a collective, alternative vision of farmworker justice.
This event is organized by members of the FCWA Farmworker Committee: Alianza Agrícola, California Institute for Rural Studies, Comité de apoyo a los trabajadores agrícolas (CATA), Community to Community Development, Familias Unidas por la Justicia, Farmworker Association of Florida, Justicia for Migrant Workers, Migrant Justice, Pioneer Valley Workers Center, Rural & Migrant Ministry, Workers’ Center of Central New York, and Worker Justice Center of New York. Together, they represent thousands of workers in the agricultural sector in eight U.S. states and one Canadian province.
