SFA is a national network of youth and students organizing in solidarity with farmworkers to eliminate sweatshop conditions and modern-day slavery in the fields.

We work closely with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a grassroots farmworker organization of mostly Latino, Haitian, and Mayan Indian low-wage immigrant workers.

SFA is a founding member of the Alliance for Fair Food.

In a now infamous backroom deal hatched between the American Federation of Labor (AFL), the Farm Bureau, southern white segregationists, and new deal democrats, farm workers and domestic servants were specifically excluded from the right to engage in activities of mutual aid, protection, and collective bargaining as extended to other U.S. workers under the 1935 National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). Starting in WWII and through the mid 1960s the infamous “Bracero” program also facilitated the recruitment of close to four million seasonal farm workers from Mexico into the U.S. as a cheap labor option for agribusiness.

US/LEAP is an independent non-profit organization that supports economic justice and basic rights for workers in Central America, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Mexico. US/LEAP focuses especially on the struggles of workers who are employed directly or indirectly by U.S. companies such as Starbucks (coffee), Chiquita (bananas), and Gap (clothing).

The CIW is a community-based worker organization. Our members are largely Latino, Haitian, and Mayan Indian immigrants working in low-wage jobs throughout the state of Florida.
