CLIMATE RESILIENCE · WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
Farmworkers are bringing traditional ecological knowledge to climate resilience careers that heal the land while offering better pay and safety standards.
“Muchos de nosotros traemos costumbres de nuestros ancestros, de nuestros padres, nuestros abuelos, en como cuidar la tierra. Empezaron a darnos entrenamientos, pero mas que nada tambien empezamos a compartir como cuidar la tierra, como lo hacemos en nuestros pueblos.”
“Many of us bring traditions from our parents and grandparents in Mexico - the knowledge of how to care for land. So they began training us about land resilience. But first, we taught them how we protect the land in our countries.”
— Sandra De León | Trabajador de la tierra, Land Steward
IMMIGRANT WORKER RIGHTS
Workers have organized and won: improved job safety, a $2 million disaster fund, commitments to hazard pay, and have recovered $500k in stolen wages.
“No tengo miedo porque yo conozco mis derechos como campesina y como humano, y estoy en la lucha y yo voy a seguir luchando hasta que logremos lo que se tiene que lograr: un trato justo y un salario justo.”
“I’m not afraid, because I know my rights, as a farmworker and as a human. I will fight until we get what we’re fighting for: fair wages and fair treatment.”
— Valentina Sosa | Trabajador de la tierra, Land Steward
WORKER COOPERATIVES · ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Crews are building structures of democratic self-governance to change the culture of how the work is done by centering worker leadership and safety.
“Acá hay más sueldo, es más bien pagado y hay más seguridad. Los entrenadores se enfocan mucho en tu seguridad, en tu cuerpo, en tu salud, en todo eso.”
“Here we have better wages and safer work. The trainers look after your safety - your body, your health, all of it.”
— Isidro Rodríguez | Trabajador de la tierra, Land Steward
