CATA’s work focuses on workers’ rights, health and safety in the workplace, immigrant's rights, and food justice. In 2021 we reached 1,200+ farmworkers, visited 72 labor camps, assisted 25 workers with compensation and termination cases, workplace violations, wage theft, COVID-19 violations, and sexual harassment, and 150+ workers participated in our Health and Safety the Workplace workshops during COVID-19. CATA's Organic Community Garden in Bridgeton, NJ, thrived during the pandemic, bringing a source of fresh produce to the immigrant community at a time when fresh food was scarce for some families. Unfortunately, this pandemic has taught us our agricultural system is not reliable in feeding our people. The immigrant community we serve was affected tremendously and disproportionally. Yet, despite the many challenges we faced, we harvested almost 500 lbs. of produce in over 57 different varieties. Learn more about CATA's work during 2021 here. We would not be able to do this critical work without the help and financial support from people like you. Your support, your volunteer time, and your calls and emails are what give us ALL the ability to be successful in building a better community! The need continues to grow for workers impacted by the COVID-19 health and economic crisis. We need your help to continue supporting them during these difficult times. We can't do it without you.
