NOFA-VT members, we invite you to join us on January 21st from 7-8 pm for a virtual conversation to discuss emerging concerns regarding the rights and safety of undocumented immigrants and migrant farmworkers in Vermont. We’ll share information and resources about the challenges migrant farmworkers are likely to face under the incoming federal administration, then move into a conversation to hear from our members and discuss what we can collectively do to create safety and well-being for our neighbors.

Migrant farmworkers are valued members of our agricultural community, and they deserve dignity, humanity, and safety.

Whether you are a farm owner, a farmworker, or simply a person who depends on the people who grow your food (that’s all of us!), you are critical and needed for building a more socially just food and agriculture future in Vermont and beyond. 


Please be sure to visit our resource page to learn more about ways to get involved and create safety for our migrant farmworker neighbors.
