SUMMARY:Farmworker Gathering
DESCRIPTION:The National Farmers Union voted in favor of offering a new membership type for farm workers which offers all the benefits and voting privileges of farmers at a 50% off the family membership rate. \nWe want to celebrate this exciting shift by gathering farm workers from coast to coast to coast together in an open discussion space. It’s time we add farm worker voices to the NFU in a substantial way. \nLet’s talk – what are the needs of farm workers\, what are the challenges farm workers face\, what are all the untold\, unheard stories of this work\, what do we want to see happen for the betterment of farm worker conditions\, what value do we contribute to a strong\, progressive farm community? \nCome connect with like-minded farm workers in this welcoming space. \nWhen: February 9\, 2022 \n4 – 5:30 PST\n5 – 6:30 PM MST\, YST\n6 – 7:30 PM CST\n7 – 8:30 PM EST\n8 – 930 PM AST
