This organization is located in Sacramento and Fresno. This foundation specifically targets farm workers and aims to help them achieve economic stability. They also address the obstacles that farm workers face such as immigration law, healthcare access, work safety, and rural housing. There is information on farm worker rights and human rights on the organization’s website. There are categories that present different topics related to farm workers such as voting rights they have, worker rights, work conditions, and climate disaster issues which affect them with their job opportunities.
They have a clear mission in providing legal services especially to farm workers and those who need immigration services. There is information on both immigration and farm worker laws which I can incorporate into the project. Most farm workers are Mexican so it is likely that immigration is a highlighted topic with farm labor.

The Workers United page has more information on the Delano grape strike. The Delano Strike was the beginning to the uprising of the UFW which would then inspire others to take action and speak up for their rights. Since then, many other organizations have formed in support of farm workers and their rights.
Their website provides information that is useful to health and job search questions. They support farm workers and their children with their studies by giving them the resources they need. They also give counseling for job skills and career coaching. The HDC is rich in education, health, and food resources.
The United Farm Workers Foundation is an organization that fights for farm workers. Their mission is to empower farm workers and to empower communities through their organization. The UFW foundation gives a lot of information on farm workers struggles, obstacles, political fights, and their rights. The working conditions continue to be as harsh as it was in the 1960s during the farmers rights movements events.
