It is often said that Virginia is one of the best states for business, but far too often the cost of that boast is borne by the workers.

The newly created Worker Justice Program is rooted in the efforts of our farmworker team who have spent years organizing and advocating for migrant workers across the state, from tomato pickers on the Eastern Shore, to Christmas tree workers in far southwest Virginia. The program will continue this work and will, over time, expand its mission to support the efforts of other low-wage workers to fight for the pay and treatment they deserve.

Stay tuned for more information about this much-needed effort.
