The Accompaniment Program of RMM works
to develop and connect allies with efforts for rural justice,
empowerment, and leadership development. In New York farmworkers
have created their own organization, Centro Independiente
de Trabajadores Agr’colas (CITA). Through the Justice for
Farmworkers Campaign, CITA and RMM work together statewide
for farmworker justice through three avenues: farmworker organizing,
legislative advocacy, and litigation. Accompaniment depends
upon individuals, organizations, and congregations standing
with farmworkers in their struggle to organize for equality,
dignity, and just working and living conditions.
