Coalition of Immokalee Workers

In Immokalee, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is a farmworker human rights organization. It works to prevent forced labor and other severe abuses in agriculture through the Fair Food Program, which promotes protections for farmworkers across U.S. food supply chains. The organization calls on food corporations to join the program and uses public appeals, rallies, marches, shareholder resolutions, and customer letters to press for action. Its work also includes sharing farmworker perspectives and raising awareness about labor conditions and allegations of abuse. The coalition connects prevention with efforts to change the conditions that allow exploitation to occur, and describes the Fair Food Program as a worker-led human rights initiative with reach beyond the United States.
