MFSA partners with National Farm Worker Ministry

We're excited to share that MFSA has become partners with the National Farm Worker Ministry (NFWM). Originally founded in 1920, National Farm Worker Ministry is a "faith-based organization committed to justice for and empowerment of farmworkers."  The National Farm Worker Ministry became the organized effort by the religious community to take action, "from charity to justice," in the Farm Worker Movement.

Dedicated to the rights of farmworkers, the NFWM continues to educate, equip, and mobilize organizations and faith communities and individuals to "support farm worker-led efforts to improve their living and working conditions" even in midst of the pandemic.  Most recently, the NFWM joined the United Farm Workers' (UFW) petition to support PRIMEX workers who spoke up about unsafe working conditions and were consequently fired. 

As Labor Day approaches, we invite you to join MFSA and NFWM in the Harvest of Justice.  Falling between Labor Day and World Food Day, this year's Harvest of Justice focuses on Farm Workers and the Environment.  Take this Harvest of Justice season to educate yourself and your community on farm worker's rights and the impact of climate change and to take action to make impactful change.  "We urge people of faith and conscience to hear the call and stand with farmworkers to challenge oppressive systems in order to bring healing to individuals, communities, and the earth."
