Hello family and friends!

I'm writing to invite you to participate in Student Action with Farmworkers' Farmworker Awareness Campaign, a grassroots fundraising drive to support our work for greater respect and justice for farmworkers. SAF is a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring students and farmworkers together to learn about each other’s lives, share resources and skills, improve conditions for farmworkers, and build diverse coalitions working for social change.

This summer I will be interning with Student Action with Farmerworkers as Program Coordinator and Outreach Worker in Dunn, North Carolina. In this position I will be working with Episcopal Farmworker Ministry on direct outreach with migrant farmworkers, advocacy for farmworker rights, and increasing the level of interaction between farmworkers and the public. I will also work with NC farmworkers on leadership development, advocacy, and education aimed toward a systematic change of agricultural policy at local and state levels. I am so excited to work with this organization and become more involved in farmworker justice this summer.

During this campaign my goal is to raise $750 to support SAF's work educating the public about farmworkers. My campaign begins May 14 and ends May 21. Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to support our work towards greater respect and justice for farmworkers. Truly any amount makes a huge difference, and I will be so thankful for any contribution to this organization and issue that I care very much about! Thank you so much for your support and solidarity.

Sincerely,
Kate Walker
