Posted in: Events
“Out of the Fields,” an all day MIGHT event, focuses on preventing the abuse, exploitation, and trafficking associated with food production. It brings together advocates and experts to discuss human rights abuses, including forced labor and sexual harassment, in the U.S. agricultural industry. Invitees will also share their success story in bringing about transformative changes that are in effect now. Activities, including presentations, roundtables and discussions, provide a variety of human rights advocacy groups and food advocates an opportunity to raise awareness about these important issues. Participants will include the Alliance for Fair Food (AFF) and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), as well as Montclair State scholars.
