YAYA SUMMIT 2008

Check it out this group also works much like the CIW/SFA:

The 2008 Florida YAYA Summit is a convening of Florida YAYA members who are fighting to bring justice to the fields and to those who put food in our tables.
The summit's purpose is to bring together these young adults so that they can meet with farm workers and farm worker advocates, share their experiences, stories and resources to further their work for farm worker justice individually and as a community.

This year's summit will include panels and workshops about pesticides, immigration, human trafficking, farmworker campaigns and more.
