BACKGROUND:
On Saturday May 18th, 2013, the Alliance of Active Women (AMA), and NFWM-YAYA will host Hit the Fields for Farm Worker Justice III- our third fundraiser soccer game between farm worker supporters and members of the farm worker community of Seville. This fundraiser soccer game will support the work of AMA and NFWM-YAYA while strengthening the relationship between our communities. AMA is an organization of farm worker women who are fighting to improve the safety, well being, and health of their community. They offer workshops, cultural programs, and provide assistance and referrals for low-income families in Volusia County. Our objective for this soccer event is to raise $3,750. These funds will not only sustain AMA's current work, but will also support YAYA's continued solidarity work with farm workers across the nation.

Our lives depend on farm workers and their labor. Sponsor a player TODAY! |
