In Unity There is Strength

Join as a WFWA Member


Membership is open to anyone who is, has been, or in the future may be employed in farm work, including low-paid workers not working in agriculture. We understand that in order to thrive, we have to unite and cannot leave any worker behind. Many WFWA members irrigate, pick and prune the orchards, harvest row crops, work in vineyards, are nursery workers and landscapers, or work in food processing plants. Most are seasonal workers and have to find what work they can during the off-season. Join WFWA as we build collective solutions to the poverty conditions impacting tens of thousands of workers in the Sacramento Valley.
