Dear Friends and Family,
Welcome to my fundraising page!
Over the past two years you might have seen me work with Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF) as a summer intern and then a Solidaridad in-office intern and I am happy to announce that this year i will be returning as their Program Assistant for their Into the Fields (ITF) summer internship program. I am excited to be working with SAF again and to continue their important work for agricultural justice.
Perhaps you're wondering why I keep coming back to this organization, what makes it so special to me. In truth, it is the not just for one reason. It's the passionate people behind the programs, the way in which SAF has committed itself to action with farmworkers instead of for farm workers, the emphasis placed on ensuring that the voices of farmworkers are amplified and not spoken over or forgotten.
In SAF's 20 years of work, over 80,000 farmworkers have gained access to health, education, legal and organizing support. Over 150,000 people have advocated for farmworker justice through SAF's campaigns.
On a personal level, SAF has had fundamental impact on who I am as I person. They have helped me grow into a more socially conscious, action-oriented, and thoughtful person. They fostered in me not only visions of what social justice looks like, but how I can engage in it as an individual as well as part of a community.
This month of May, I am asking you to join me in supporting our community of farmworkers.
My goal is to raise a minimum of $750 to support SAF's work with farmworkers. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation of $25, $50, $100, or more ( or less, if you're on a tight budget. Any amount is more than welcome here! But if you can afford more, thank you).
Three Ways to Donate:
- Online- just click the green "Donate" button!
- By Check - Checks can be made out to Student Action with Farmworkers (memo: "Veronica's Fundraising Campaign") and given to me to take to SAF, or mailed to: Student Action with Farmworkers 1317 W. Pettigrew Street Durham, NC 27705
- Cash! - If you see me in person, I can pass your cash donation along to SAF! Please do not mail cash.
I'm excited to see how the individual contributions from so many people that I love and respect can come together to be part of a greater cause! Thank you all for your consideration. <3
