Founded in 1994, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) works to empower low-wage workers in Southwest Florida. CIW's members include Hispanic, Haitian, and indigenous immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala working primarily as farmworkers. Together, they are fighting for fair wages, strengthening and enforcing workers' rights laws, corporate responsibility in the supply chain, and the end of slavery in the fields. CIW combines leadership development, popular education, and a participatory approach to community and workplace organization to guarantee that its work remains rooted in the community.
