In the Field With Farmworkers

Serving farmworkers across Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Farmworker Project (PFP) advocates for workplace safety, including safety from sexual harassment, fair wages, and adequate health standards. The team provides legal assistance to agricultural workers with legal status to work in the US, many of whom are working in the United States under H2-A visas, ensuring their rights are protected and promoting equitable working conditions. The team travels across the state to talk with farmworkers and provide critical information and resources in their outreach work.

The PFP interfaces with hundreds of farmworkers every year doing outreach across the state. 



In 2024, the PFP launched a vital resource guide in Spanish to combat sexual harassment and violence in the agricultural industry. The booklet, titled “Protect Yourself from Harassment in Agricultural Work,” explains what constitutes workplace sexual harassment and outlines steps to take if you are harassed. It also provides valuable resources for counseling and legal assistance in Pennsylvania. For several months, the PFP team collaborated with local artist Cristina Arancibia Brecht, whose creativity brought this project to life. Additionally, the team consulted numerous advocates across the state for their expert advice and guidance on the content. A link to the guide online can be found here.
