“In some countries children pick crops for 14 hours a day. The United States is one of those countries.”

This free online screening of the award winning documentary The Harvest/La Cosecha, presented by Racial Justice Rising and Greening Greenfield, was RJR’s first venture into online educational programming. 64 people attended.

The documentary was available for viewing via a special link over the course of 5 days. On the evening of the fifth day, Claudia Quintero, an immigration attorney with the Central West Justice Center, shared information about conditions for migrant farmworkers in our own area.
