Recipe for Change
Slavery is not just happening overseas. While IJM has developed expertise through our casework to rescue families from forced labor slavery in South Asia, the U.S. Government and domestic human rights organizations have developed strategies to combat slavery and other serious labor abuses here at home. In the past 15 years, over 1,000 people have been freed from slavery in Florida's tomato fields. Thanks to a unique partnership between farmworkers and tomato growers in the Sunshine State, today there is a way to guarantee that all of Florida's tomatoes are free from slavery and other abuses.
This summer, we have a Recipe for Change. Join us as we campaign for slave-free tomatoes.
