ABOUT UFW FOUNDATION: The UFW Foundation significantly advocates for farm workers at the national, state, and local levels. It has been featured in TIME Magazine, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR and many other news outlets. Working alongside the UFW, the UFW Foundation won overtime pay after eight hours a day for California farm workers in 2016, and is working to expand these protections nationwide. The UFW Foundation has mobilized farm workers and their organizations across the country to advocate for immigration reform, pesticide protections, heat standards and other worker protections, taking hundreds of farm workers to Washington D.C. to lobby on their own behalf. Rooted in the community through its multiple service centers, the UFW Foundation is the largest federally accredited provider of immigration legal services in rural California. Recently, it established a deportation defense program, providing legal representation to immigrants detained in the Central Valley. The UFW Foundation reached more than 90,000 rural immigrants in 2018 through outreach, advocacy and services, and saved its constituents more than $1.2 million in government immigration application fees.
