Farmworker Justice - we have a new name and logo

[Guest guest]

After 25 Years, a Fresh Look for Farmworker

Justice

Founded in 1981 as the “Farmworker Justice Fund, Inc.,” our organization

is celebrating 25 years of service to migrant and seasonal farmworkers.

As we move forward to our next quarter-century of high-quality advocacy

with great enthusiasm and energy, we are adopting a new name and a new

logo.

Our Board of Directors decided to shorten our name to " Farmworker

Justice, " and in Spanish, " Justicia

Campesina. " Two words, simple and

straightforward. “Farmworker " says that we serve migrant

and seasonal farmworkers and their families and their communities.

“Justice " describes our mission - justice in the fields and in

farmworker communities - and sends the message that we engage in

advocacy, litigation and education to empower farmworkers to build a

better future.

Removing the word " fund " helps us avoid giving the inaccurate

impression that we operate as a foundation that gives out grants.

Farmworker Justice is an organization that relies on philanthropic

support from people like you. We thank you for your

help.

We also commissioned a fresh new logo. The image retains the

character of our first logo, which captured the people we serve, while

adopting a more contemporary design. We like the new logo because

the farmworkers’ tools are in the hands of individuals. The logo

now contains both a man and a woman, symbolizing our strong commitment to

promoting equality and fairness. We hope you like it.

We will also soon launch a redesigned website, that is more visually

appealing, uses technology more dynamically, and is better organized and

simpler to use. We hope to reach many more people through the new

www.farmworkerjustice.org. You may also use the address

www.justiciacampesina.org, and can still reach us through

www.fwjustice.org.

Thank you for helping us build Farmworker Justice. We look forward

to continuing to work with you.
