Thanks to the courage of 56 immigrant poultry workers—and the tireless efforts of CATA organizers and our incredible partners—over $650,000 in unpaid wages will be returned to workers who were exploited in Salisbury, MD.
What started as one brave conversation in our Maryland office turned into a powerful movement for justice. With support from CATA’s Jean-Frandy Philogene and Leila Borrero Krouse, these workers stood up against abuse and WON.
This win is more than a paycheck. It’s proof that when workers organize and communities unite, real change is possible.
But the fight isn’t over. We’re continuing to support workers exposed to toxic pesticides and unsafe conditions. This work needs your voice and support.
“Even when a situation seems too big, too risky, or too difficult—there is always a path forward,” says Frandy. “But you have to take that first step—and trust that people will walk with you.”
Sí se puede. Yes, we can.
We lost critical federal funding this year. To complete the work we’ve planned in Maryland, we need to raise $20,000. Thanks to generous supporters, we’ve already raised $15,000.
