Activity 2

POLICY & RESEARCHIn 2011, the UFW Foundation led a project involving a Consortium of ten non-profit organizations from throughout the nation to plan the infrastructure for the implementation of future farm worker immigration reform. A key part of the planning process involved developing a California Preparedness Plan that allowed the Consortium to pilot some of its recommendations to prepare to go to full implementation and greater scale. The Consortium made recommendations of replicable models and systems that can be developed and expanded to reach the largest number of farm workers as quickly as possible, once legislation is enacted. These models for farm workers can then be adapted, replicated and generally useful for the broader immigrant community impacted by other immigration reform proposals that Congress will consider in the future.

Activity 3

CIVIC PARTICIPATIONThroughout 2011, a communications plan was implemented that encouraged non-English speaking farm workers and other low-income immigrants to apply for citizenship. This included the development of Public Service Announcements (PSA), which were broadcasted on Radio Campesina, to encourage participation. Similarly, the organization co-hosted the morning "Despierta Ya Campesino" (or Wake Up Farm Worker) Radio Campesina Program once a week to discuss relevant issues impacting the Latino community, such as federal immigration policies, citizenship application requirements, and the importance of voting.
