Tomorrow, thousands across the country will march to demand that Congress do the right thing on immigration reform.
This issue is vital to the UFW and to the farm workers we represent. Farm workers do the hardest, most difficult jobs that others won't do. They help feed this nation. Yet, they are faced with fear and intimidation because many employers use the threat of deportation to keep on exploiting them.
Join the virtual Immigration march today!
Please join us in fighting for immigration reform by participating in a virtual May Day march that we are doing along with other immigration groups. Help us show Congress that there is a growing movement that stands with the President to pass real immigration reform this year.
It’s time to end this cycle of fear and abuse and achieve real change for working families. To do so, we need your help to move the campaign forward. Please take action today and join the virtual Immigration march
