The California Farmworker Coalition represents organizations that are committed to centering the needs of California’s farmworkers in state policy, including labor, environmental justice, and Indigenous farmworker community-based organizations, advocates, and researchers.
While the CFC includes allied organizations, decision-making is centered around voting members, which are community-based or power-building organizations whose farmworker comités inform organizational priorities and strategies. This unique composition of frontline organizations connected to workers with lived experience and expertise of agricultural work paired with allied groups with research, advocacy, and facilitation expertise ensures that the group’s collective action and resources are grounded in the true needs of farmworker communities. Non-voting members support by contributing policy insights, strategy, resources, and solidarity to the collective actions determined by voting members.
