This collection documents the initiatives and issues surrounding local farmworkers in the United States, who are often comprised of migrant workers from the Caribbean, Mexico, Central, and South America. One of the topics covered within includes the ¡Que Calor! campaign organized by WeCount, which fights for the rights and health concerns of farmworkers who are often subject to dangerous heat levels in Florida.

Materials include periodicals, fliers, programs, pamphlets, buttons, clothing, and other ephemera pertaining to various local organizations, such as the aforementioned WeCount, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, the Farmworker Association of Florida, and the Student/Farmworker Alliance.

This collection is open for research.
