Through SAF’s work with the Farmworker Advocacy Network, we supported efforts to prohibit retaliation against farmworkers who report pesticide problems on the job and strengthen pesticide record keeping. See p. 6 to find out more…

A year of gratitude

Annual ReportSeptember 2007-

August 2008

Our 2007-2008 year included several new efforts and victories, including legislative advocacy, new accomplishments in our summer programs, several new educational publications, and our biggest year yet for National Farmworker Awareness Week! Even now as the US economy begins to take a turn for the worse, we at SAF are grateful for the consistent and dedicated support we have received from our many donors and volunteers over the past year. We see it as a sign that, even as we do work that creates real impact in the short term, we’re also building a strong community of SAFistas that will be together for the long haul.

Our Into the Fields Interns and Sowing Seeds for Change Fellows worked at over a dozen agencies along the East Coast to bring services and support directly to farmworkers- over 5,000 in total! See p. 2 to learn more…

National Farmworker Awareness Week 2008 was the most successful in history, with over 350 events in 134 U.S. cities and 30 states, at over 100 colleges, universities and high schools. All told, over 30,000 people participated in the week of action! See more on p. 5 …

Into the FieldsSAF’s Into the Fields Internship gives college students a way to support farmworkers as they address health & safety concerns, educational barriers, immigration issues, & discrimination in the workplace. Since SAF’s inception in 1992, over 500 college students have spent their summers working directly with farmworkers & their families.

Every summer for the past 16 years, Into the Fields interns have made a significant and positive impact on the farmworker community in the Carolinas. The numbers from the 2008 program are impressive: 25 students from all over the country reached out to over 4,500 total workers in just 10 weeks of service. In the process, farmworkers and their families received information about workers’ rights, health care and educational access.

During a week-long orientation and two weekend retreats, students learned about the history of farmworkers in the Southeast, power analysis, and outreach strategies tailored to their summer placements.

Many students say that their commitment to social justice was deepened because of their first-hand experiences over the summer.

Amy Petrocy,• a student from the University of South Carolina, is now studying Medical Administration so that she can better serve the needs of the migrant community.

Rachel Craft• worked with migrant youth and now coordinates the Coalition for College Access, an NC student coalition advocating for the educational rights of undocumented students.

Pablo Buenrostro,• an NC State student, worked with poultry workers in Chatham County and is now the newest SAF board member.

Because of their experiences through ITF these students and many, many more have put hands and feet to ideals and are actively working for justice in the fields!

“This summer I carry with me every one of the farmworkers’ stories.

Every one of them impacted me in a personal way, as a woman and as a future social worker. I don’t want what many compañeros told me to be so many chats that I had with strangers, but rather that these stories become proof that while I am still alive, there is work left to do.” Diana Rosales, intern with the Farmworkers’ Project in Benson, NC

SAF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to

learn about each other's lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions

for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change.

Popular TheaterThis past summer interns wrote and performed a new play La Visita del Campolin to inspire dialogue and action among farmworkers. The interns used popular theatre techniques and participatory methods for getting farmworkers to talk about housing and health concerns, as well as ways to protect themselves from pesticide exposure.

Folklife Documentary ProjectIn 2008 twenty SAF interns and fellows participated in a documentary project gathering stories of farmworkers through photographs and audio interviews. These stories include a young woman’s missed opportunity to attend college, one man’s struggle with cancer, and a young poet talking about his life and how he expresses himself through art. These students were afforded a rare and important look into the lives of farmworkers. They were able to build relationships with farmworkers while documenting their hopes, realities and memories of home.

The summer of 2008 marked the conclusion of our Nuestras Historias/Nuestros Sueños: Our Stories/Our Dreams Documentary collaboration with the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University (CDS)

The project—which began in 2006 and involved undergraduate students at

CDS, SAF interns from across the country, faculty members, seasoned documentarians, and young people from farmworker families—created a multimedia Web site, a traveling exhibition, and a publication.

The project focuses on farmworker families in the Carolinas and their dreams for the future; on their traditions, their educational aspirations, and their challenges as they try to pursue higher education.

Sowing Seeds for Change

SAF’s Sowing Seeds for Change Program assists campuses and communities to create student-labor alliances,

organizes an annual fellowship on the East Coast, and coordinates SAF’s Alumni Association.

SAF’s Sowing Seeds for Change fellowship program supported four talented students from the East Coast:

Leanne Tory Murphy• of CUNY Hunter College worked at Rural & Migrant Ministry in New York. She programmed a five-week Youth Leadership Academy and assisted with an oral history project, the Youth Arts Group, Rural Women’s Conference, and Sullivan Co. Day Camp.

Barbie Spitz• of James Madison University worked at Telamon Corp. in Virginia. She gave pesticide safety presentations to farmworkers, managed the in-house food bank, helped workers obtain their passports and other legal documents, and conducted outreach to workers about Telamon’s services.

Mariela Cedeño• of Vanderbilt University worked at Southern Migrant Legal Services in Tennessee. She conducted outreach to farmworkers in the Southeastern states, and communicated with clients in ongoing legal cases.

Stephanie Gans• of William & Mary worked at Comite de Apoyo a Trabajadores Agricolas (CATA) in Pennsylvania. She facilitated a fundraising campaign with mushroom workers to secure a new space for worker organizing.

More than 700 farmworkers in TN, VA, PA, and NY benefited from this project this year by gaining access to improved culturally appropriate health, education, legal, and labor organizing support. After the summer program, the fellows have continued supporting farmworkers by volunteering at their sponsoring organizations, hosting the Coalition of Immokalee Workers on their speaking tour, continuing documentary work, and organizing a week of events on campus about the roots of immigration and human rights.

Alumni AssociationSAF provided mini-grants to alumni Kendal Walters and Anna Jensen to coordinate awareness raising events at UNC-Chapel Hill. Kendal worked with Alianza, a new student group that focuses on farmworker awareness, to show The Guestworker documentary to 40 people. Anna teamed up with campus groups to coordinate a Fair Food Fair on UNC-Chapel Hill campus.

“This summer has given me more than I ever expected on both a personal and professional

level. It truly impressed upon me how privileged I have been in my own life, and gave me reason to continue to be involved in the farm worker justice movement. It has allowed me an insider’s view into the legal aid world, how it functions, its obstacles, and the ways that lawyers and the staff find to overcome barriers.”

Mariela Cedeño, fellow with Southern Migrant Legal Services in Tennessee

Solidarity DaysNov. 30, 2007 | In solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ 9-mile march to Burger King’s headquarters in Miami, SAF and the National Farm Worker Ministry organized demonstrations at three Burger King Restaurants in the NC Triangle region with one clear message: Farmworkers deserve justice, dignity and better wages.

April 22, 2008 | SAF called on the community to help provide books for migrant students in North Carolina. Over 500 books were distributed by NC Migrant Education and will be used to improve English language skills, Spanish literacy, and provide leisure reading to youth and teens.

Project LevanteThrough Project Levante, SAF organizes farmworker youth to take action in their communities and access higher

education. Through our partnership with the Adelante Education Coalition, SAF advocates for farmworker youth and holds NC educational systems accountable to immigrant students.

Through our work with the Adelante Education Coalition, SAF helped to mobilize thousands of students, parents, educators and other concerned community members to plan events and sign petitions supporting undocumented students’ right to attend college. Both through fighting anti-immigrant legislation in our state and by working with the NC Community College System to provide access to higher education for undocumented students, Adelante has sown the seeds of a strong broad-based coalition that can stand up, mobilize, and respond to anti-immigrant forces in the state.

This year, SAF’s youth group particpated in bi-monthly workshops on environmental justice, college preparation and documentary arts. The youth also participated in a two-day leadership retreat, which included team building activities, anti-oppression training, farmworker campaigns, and a documentary review.

SAF incorporated workshops on farmworker issues and activism into the weekend retreat, and taught participants about the role of student organizing in the farm labor movement.

We held two college tours at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and Fayetteville Tech Community College, where students toured the campus, learned about how to finance their education, and discussed campus life with current Latino students.

The youth worked together on a documentary project gathering the stories and experiences that they and their families have had working in the fields. Documentary consultants trained youth on conducting audio interviews, writing field notes, and taking photographs. Levante youth chose family members and friends as documentary subjects and, using the skills they learned in the workshops, they took photos and recorded interviews with their subjects. Then the students assisted SAF Migrant Youth Director in choosing the layout of the publication and editing the book. The books were then printed and have been distributed to farmworkers, their families, and advocates around the state.

AdelanteDuring 2008, we produced a bilingual parents’ guide titled Mis Hijos Van a la Escuela; it covers everything from how to register your child for school, to what transportation and nutrition is provided at school, to the discipline process and parent-teacher conferences. It also includes information about North Carolina’s diploma pathways program, parents’ rights, the differences between schools in the US and Mexico, and how to help children prepare for going to university.

From the Ground UpAs a social change organization, SAF informs & mobilizes students &

community members to support justice for farmworkers. Through presentations, publications, actions, collaborations, & advocacy

work, SAF engages, inspires & plays a leadership role in the farmworker movement.

Between September 2007 and August 2008, SAF staff and interns gave over 90 presentations to more than 2,600 students, farmworkers, and community groups. We produced 3 print newsletters on student documentary, pesticide advocacy, and SAF accomplishments. We also collaborated with the NC Humanities Council to produce NC Crossroads, a bilingual publication on health care and farmworkers.

Each spring SAF coordinates Farmworker Awareness Week as a way for students throughout the U.S. to raise awareness about farmworkers on their campuses and in their communities. Farmworker Awareness Week 2008 was the most successful in history, with over 350 events in 134 U.S. cities and 30 states, at over 100 colleges, universities and high schools. All told, over 30,000 people participated in the week of action!

SAF continued its Farmworker Institute collaboration with the NC Council of Churches Farmworker Ministry Committee to raise awareness of farmworker justice throughout North Carolina. SAF also continued collaborating with the Housing Development Corporation to develop affordable housing solutions for farmworkers in Eastern NC, and began a new collaboration with Uniting North Carolina, a group formed to promote immigrant rights in our state.

SAF worked with the Farmworker Advocacy Network to monitor the administrative hearings and NC Pesticide Board meetings that covered the AgMart case, in which the company defended against the largest fine ever issued by the state for pesticide violations.

FAN supported several needed improvements in regulations covering pesticide safety. The bill that passed in the 2008 legislative session included two of FAN’s recommendations: it prohibits retaliation against farmworkers who complain about pesticide problems on the job, and strengthens the records that growers have to keep of pesticide applications.

FAN initiated a participatory health research project with Wake Forest University, and invited the Western NC Workers’ Center to help us initiate a new poultry worker committee.
