What We're Asking:

  • Can the Healing Voices Project successfully address trauma, stress, and insecurity in the farmworker community? What are the best methods to conduct digital outreach to the fragmented and mobile farmworker community? Can Virtual Support Groups that use the power of storytelling to support healing, teach workers their rights, build community connections, and inspire change better engage and empower low-income workers to drive change?
