As we face new challenges, CATA remains committed to supporting and educating immigrant and farmworker communities across NJ, PA, and MD.
Our 2025 plan focuses on:
Know Your Rights Education – Updated materials and presentations to ensure people understand how to exercise their constitutional rights during immigration encounters.
Workers’ Rights & Assistance – Providing education and support to prevent exploitation, especially as fear and uncertainty increase in workplaces.
Monthly Community Meetings – Creating a space to stay connected, share updates, and respond to the needs of our members.
Farmworker Outreach – Visiting farms in NJ, PA, and MD starting in April to provide health and labor rights information and engage workers in conversations about housing conditions.
Food Justice & Leadership Development – Continuing our community gardens in Bridgeton, NJ, and Kennett Square, PA, and training a new cohort of Workers’ Rights Ambassadors and youth in our Food Justice Internship Program.
Collaboration with Local Organizations – Partnering with other nonprofits to expand access to resources and provide office hours for assistance.
Most importantly, CATA remains a safe space where our community can access accurate information, resources, and the dignity and respect they deserve.
