LIDERES CAMPESINAS

LÍDERES CAMPESINAS

"Organización en California de Líderes Campesinas, Inc." represents a culmination of decades of work by farm working women (Campesinas). Farmworker women have been the leaders of many grassroots and mobilizing efforts to improve the lives of farmworker communities. Líderes Campesinas provides these long-time leaders and activists with the opportunity to coordinate their work statewide and has built collectives so that campesinas may become agents of change and be a more effective unified voice.

Líderes Campesinas: Mobilizing Youth

The Organization en California de Lideres Campesinas talks about their programs to advocate for women farmworkers throughout the state of California and we hear from members of the Lideres youth group and their concerns for rights, health and education of farm-working families.

"The most rewarding part of this experience was seeing the girls at the screening! This event was significant because they were able to see what they had been working on for the whole semester and also visit Pitzer College and us again. I would really like to continue talking to them outside of this project. I do not want to be the type of person that walks away from a built relationship jsut because the class is over. I hope the girls will continue to keep in contact with me too and I heard Eunice is really interested in coming to Pitzer."
