Justice for Farmworkers

Across New York During the Month of October
People from Many Different Backgrounds Will Gather for...
A Statewide Vigil
for Farmworker Human Rights

In the 1930s . . . in the midst of the Jim Crow era . . . farmworkers were excluded under New York Labor Law from basic human rights, including a day of rest, overtime pay and protection while bargaining collectively. Now, in 2009, the New York State Senate can right this wrong, and all of New York can feel the freedom of the yoke of injustice being removed.
