Speakers:

  • Alagie Jinkang, Ikenga and University of Palermo (Italy)
  • Bridget Henderson, UNITE (UK)
  • Gerardo Reyes Chavez, Coalition of Immokalee Workers (USA)
  • Carlos Marentes, La Via Campesina (USA)
  • Vasanthi Venkatesh, Justicia/University of Windsor (Canada)

By sharing the experiences of farmworkers and organisers in a number of important national contexts, we hope to highlight the non-exceptional nature of what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic and to spark a conversation about the local and international strategies that could be adopted to challenge the political, legal and economic structures that result in farmworkers’ subordination.
