Understanding the California Farm Worker Experience with Dr. Ann López from the Center for Farm Worker Familie

Thursday, March 13, 6:30 – 7:45pm

Join us for an insightful talk with Dr. Ann López, Executive Director of the Center for Farm Worker Families, as she explores the harsh realities faced by California farm workers. Dr. López will discuss how NAFTA’s impact on small farms in Mexico has contributed to forced undocumented immigration to the U.S., and the challenges farm workers continue to endure.

This event is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of these complex issues while fostering empathy and building connections within our community. Dr. López, an emerita professor with expertise in biology and environmental science, has long advocated for awareness of human rights abuses in the migrant circuit and has initiated many projects aimed at alleviating the suffering of farm worker families.

Join us for this eye-opening discussion and learn how we can create a more informed, compassionate society.
