The Presbyterian Hunger Program is rallying support for a march taking place in Florida this weekend to urge the Wendy’s restaurant chain to join a program to help protect farmworkers.
Immigrants who make their way to Florida to work in the agricultural industry find an ally in the Farmworker Association of Florida, a partner of multiple Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) ministries.
Erik Nicholson sees intersectionality between this country’s history of racism against Black and brown people and the current plight of farmworkers facing health and economic challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The plight of Black and brown farmworkers during the global pandemic will be the focus of an Aug. 27 webinar by the Presbyterian Hunger Program and the Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People.
