Join Community to Community and Indivisible Skagit for a Dignity Dialogue centered on the threat of the expansion of the exploitative H-2A agricultural labor program.

This participatory event invites voters, allies, and affected workers to gather and discuss this critical human rights issue impacting both our local and national community members and food systems. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the abuses of the H-2A program and analyze current legislation aimed at expanding this quasi-slavery labor system.

We will agree upon collective actions that can be taken locally to combat the threat of the program’s expansion and support the rights and dignity of local farmworkers. Join us as we step into our collective democratic power and take a stand for justice on behalf of the neighbors who keep our families fed.
