The UFW Foundation is proud to present our 2023-2024 Impact Report, a comprehensive report on all our activities and projects that we have been working on for the past year. We are incredibly proud of the work we did during this time, providing much needed programs, services, and advocacy for the immigrant and farm worker communities.
In 2023, we kicked off with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Farm and Food Workers Relief (FFWR) program, providing $600 relief payments to eligible farm and food workers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We also championed new rules for the H-2A Temporary Guest Workers Program, as proposed by the Departments of Labor and Homeland Security. In our ongoing efforts to enhance worker safety, we pushed for OSHA to establish new national heat standards and implemented new smoke regulations to protect outdoor workers. Additionally, we fought for the continuation of DACA and other vital immigration relief initiatives. To raise awareness about the challenges faced by farm workers, we produced Farm Worker Voices, a compelling video series that highlights the impact of climate change on their lives.
