Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
LOCAL FOOD PRODUCED CLOSE TO MARKET IS SOARING IN POPULARITY. BUT THE MOSTLY LOW-INCOME IMMIGRANT WORKERS EMPLOYED IN LOCAL FOOD PRODUCTION FACTORIES ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND. THEY WORK LONG HOURS HAND-CRAFTING FOOD BUT WAGES ARE TOO LOW TO LIVE ON WITH DIGNITY. MANY WORKERS CONTEND WITH HIGHLY UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS, RESULTING IN SERIOUS AND EVEN FATAL INJURIES. WORKERS OF COLOR, IMMIGRANT WORKERS, AND WOMEN WORKERS FACE PARTICULARLY EGREGIOUS DISCRIMINATION AND ABUSE ON THE JOB. BRANDWORKERS EMPOWERS LOW-INCOME WORKERS TO DEVELOP AS LEADERS AND PARTNERS WITH OCMMUNITY ALLIES TO CAMPAGIN FOR DIGNIFIED JOBS WITHIN A JUST FOOD SYSTEM. BRANDWORKERS ADVANCED CAMPAIGNS TO ACHIEVE DIGNIFIED JOB IN LOCAL FOOD MANUFACTURING, FACILITATED THE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT OF IMMIGRANT WORKERS, GREW ITS GENDER JUSTICE INITIATIVE, AND LAUNCHED A PROGRAM TO SAFEGUARD IMMIGRANT SAFETY AT WORK.
