Farmworkers Association of Florida, Inc.
Content
Program Description FWAF is a membership organization of more than 6,330 farmworker families from predominantly Mexican, Haitian, African American, Guatemalan and Salvadorian communities. The goal is to build a strong multi-racial economically viable organization of farmworkers in Florida, empowering farmworkers to respond to, and gain control over the social, political, economic and workplace issues that affect their lives. Since the early 1990s, FWAF has addressed pesticides, field sanitation, and other health and safety issues, educating and training members to learn their rights, secure passage of Florida's Rights-to-Know law to protect farmworkers, file violation complaints advocate better government enforcement and participate in a study on the effects of pesticides on farmworkers.
