Uprooted: Migration, Farmworkers, and the Climate Crisis

11:00 AM

This session dives into a growing reality: climate-related disasters are fueling migration across the Americas—and Latino migrant communities, especially farmworkers, are on the front lines. From hurricanes and droughts uprooting families to rising temperatures worsening already harsh working conditions in the fields, the pressures forcing people to move—and the challenges they face once here—are intensifying. Participants will unpack the connection between natural disasters, migration, and labor conditions. Practice how to communicate these issues in a way that drives awareness and change. Through peer discussion and real-world scenarios, attendees will leave with sharpened advocacy skills and deeper understanding of how to uplift migrant voices.
