This year's Farm Worker Awareness Week was a success! Young people
in Florida worked hard to honor farm workers, support farm worker campaigns
and bring awareness about the farm worker movement to their communities.
This year we focused on supporting different campaigns throughout the
events. Some of the campaigns were:

A total of 12 activities, involving more than 200 people, took place in the cities
of Gainesville, Orlando and Winter Park. These activities included gleaning,
fixing and delivering bicycles to farm workers, bringing speakers to schools
and churches, using
art, film and music to spread awareness and setting information tables.
