FWAF EP00 Series Intro

Welcome to Farmworker Association of Florida, a SPOHP Podcast Series. SPOHP is the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program at the University of Florida. Check out the SPOHP Podcast Intro episode for background info on SPOHP if you are new. 

As part of the 2013 summer internship course, students conducted interviews with the Farmworker Association of Florida or FWAF for short. The FWAF is a statewide, grassroots, community-based, non-profit, farmworker membership organization with over 10,000 members. They have a 35 year history of working for social and environmental justice with farmworkers. Their long-standing mission is to build power among farmworker and rural low-income communities, to respond to and gain control over the social, political, economic, workplace, health, and environmental justice issues that impact their lives. With these interviews, the student interns created these podcast episodes to showcase their stories.
