AFOP has identified a few web sites that we believe may be of value to
organizations and individuals sympathetic to the plight of farmworkers.
We'll be on the lookout for sites about special programs for farmworkers and
their families and include them he re to make access easier. Be sure to
check back often.

particular, to protect their rights to an education and to be free
of economic exploitation. Consisting of an international network of
committee members, partners, and individual marchers, the group
mobilizes support through lobbying, marches, and demonstrations,
focusing on the elimination of child labor, education for all, and
poverty alleviation. |
