Our Farmworker Emergency Fund is now open for requests !
This emergency fund was born from the reality that we live and work within systems built on exploitation, and that equity means moving money and resources toward those who make life possible by growing your food, yet are often left behind. A just agricultural future includes care for the people growing our food and medicine. It’s a small, grassroots way to show up for the people who feed us because no one should have to choose between healing and paying rent. Most farmers don’t get sick leave while already being underpaid. Most don’t have insurance or access to needed resources. Our bodies are our tools, and when they’re injured, everything stops.
Applicants must be currently working, interning, or apprenticing on a farm they do not own. Farmworkers must be experiencing an emergency, for example: injury, urgent car repairs, loss of work, legal fees, lack of appropriate gear. More details on eligibility can be found in the request form. Farmworkers can request up to $500 in emergency funding, and funds will be dispersed through a random selection.
The request form will close on March 23 and the first round of funds will be dispersed by April 6.
You can also support this fund by purchasing our resources or by making an individual contribution via Venmo () or Paypal. To send a check, please contact us directly at [email protected].
