Join The Movement
We need widespread community support to continue to build momentum behind our campaigns, spread awareness about farmworkers issues, and support farmworkers in their struggle for fair living and working conditions. One of the most influential factors in all of FLOC's campaigns has been the massive numbers of community organizations, religious groups, and individuals that have been involved. People all over the country have organized in their communities to promote FLOC events, helped with fundraising, volunteered, and helped in many other ways to raise awareness about FLOC's work.
Stay informed. Join our listserv and stay up to date on campaign news and upcoming FLOC events. We ask for your complete contact information because we we want to be able to let you know when there is an event in your area, such as a FLOC leader giving a public address at a local university or local supporters organizing a rally in your community to support migrant workers.
Our privacy policy is that all personal information is confidential, and we will not share your personal information with anyone outside of FLOC. We promise not to bug you with emails etc., other than listserv messages every few weeks and an occasional notice of a special event in your area. Only people who have asked to be on the email list are included. We do not add people without their knowledge and consent.
Spread the word. As you become more informed, help inform other so we can continue expanding the movement.
Donate. Your contributions make it possible for us to continue to expand our work and support our members in the struggle for justice.
