Farmworkers and Heat Safety: Why it Matters, Emory Climate and Health Actionable Research and Translation Center

Join CHART for a talk exploring how farmworkers, through the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and the Fair Food Program, turned the fight against dangerous heat into one of the strongest heat safety programs in the nation. 

The featured speaker is Gerardo Reyes Chavez, who is a key leader of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW). Gerardo is a farmworker himself and has worked in the fields since age 11, first in Zacatecas, Mexico, and then in the fields of Florida picking oranges, tomatoes, blueberries, and watermelon. He has worked closely with consumer allies to organize national actions–renowned for their creativity and effectiveness—designed to bring pressure on the large retail purchasers of Florida produce to join the Fair Food Program and to secure heat protections and other rights for farmworkers.
