When you have 400 quarts of greens and gumbo soup canned for the winter, nobody can push you around." – Fannie Lou Hamer. Black history isn’t just about civil rights—it’s about land, food, and survival. Fannie Lou Hamer knew that economic freedom was key to racial justice. In 1969, she founded the Freedom Farm Cooperative, helping Black families own land, grow food, and fight systemic oppression through agriculture. Her legacy reminds us: food is power, and land is liberation. Share this story. Support Black farmers.? *Video created by Ashley, Solidaridad Intern 2024-2025 #HiddenBlackHistory #BlackFarmers #FoodJustice #FannieLouHamer

Uniting for just living and working conditions for farmworkers and their families
关于我们
Student Action with Farmworkers is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to learn about each other’s lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change. SAF works with farmworkers, students, and advocates in the Southeast and nationwide to create a more just agricultural system. Since 1992, we have engaged thousands of students, farmworker youth, and community members in the farmworker movement. We envision a world where students and community members actively work together to promote justice in the agricultural system and health and well-being for all farmworkers and their families. We envision communities where there is greater interaction, communication, and understanding among people of different backgrounds. We envision a world in which farmworkers are empowered to take leadership in the farmworker justice movement and their local communities. We envision a world where consumers will be more aware of where their food comes from, who grows it, harvests it, and packages it, and the conditions of its production.

Happy Valentine's Day! ?? We've heard from current supporters, and new ones, how much of a struggle it is to stay positive amid this atmosphere of fear ???. Perhaps, "being positive" isn't something we should be reaching for, but instead grounding ourselves in the hope ??? of the good in common humanity ??. We see instances of this hope in action through the work of our students ????, alumni ??, and partners ??♀?. You inspire us every day ??. This is why we are inviting?? you to show your love ?? and encouragement ?? with people you care about today while at the same time supporting an organization?? who has dedicated itself into student leadership development ?? and farmworker justice??. We can't continue to do this work without you??. I know you've heard funding is being threatened or outright pulled. The reality is no organization is exempt from suffering loss of income previously budgeted for their programs. This is your chance to pitch ?? into a movement you care about. Take a moment & donate today. Write a note to someone you care about to let them know you appreciate them and value their friendship or what they have meant in your journey. https://lnkd.in/dDBAeFyj
