After 25 Years, a Fresh Look for Farmworker Justice

 

            Founded in 1981 as the “Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc.,” our organization is celebrating 25 years of service to migrant and seasonal farmworkers. As we move forward to our next quarter-century of high-quality advocacy with great enthusiasm and energy, we are adopting a new name and a new logo.

 

            Our Board of Directors decided to shorten our name to "Farmworker Justice," and in Spanish,  "Justicia Campesina."   Two words, simple and straightforward.   “Farmworker" says that we serve migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families and their communities.  “Justice" describes our mission - justice in the fields and in farmworker communities - and sends the message that we engage in advocacy, litigation and education to empower farmworkers to build a better future.

 

            Removing the word "fund" helps us avoid giving the inaccurate impression that we operate as a foundation that gives out grants.  Farmworker Justice is an organization that relies on philanthropic support from people like you.   We thank you for your help.

 

            We also commissioned a fresh new logo.  The image retains the character of our first logo, which captured the people we serve, while adopting a more contemporary design.  We like the new logo because the farmworkers’ tools are in the hands of individuals.  The logo now contains both a man and a woman, symbolizing our strong commitment to promoting equality and fairness.  We hope you like it.

 

            We will also soon launch a redesigned website, that is more visually appealing, uses technology more dynamically, and is better organized and simpler to use.  We hope to reach many more people through the new www.farmworkerjustice.org.  You may also use the address www.justiciacampesina.org, and can still reach us through www.fwjustice.org. 

 

            Thank you for helping us build Farmworker Justice.  We look forward to continuing to work with you.
