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.

COALITION POWER Power for marginalized workers like farmworkers has always come from strong grassroots organizing. Yet many of the policies with the greatest impact on workers, from wage and hour laws to health and safety standards, are primarily being set at the state level, where local farmworker organizing groups need a voice. This is why the CFC focuses on state policy primarily, while committed to following the lead and needs of farmworker organizing. 2025 POLICY PRIORITIES Find the CFC’s full list […] - [Privacy Policy](https://cafarmworkercoalition.org/privacy-policy/): Who we are Suggested text: Our website address is: https://cafarmworkercoalition.org.
