Workers chained to poles. Locked in trucks. Physically beaten. Robbed of pay.
The Issue
It sounds too extreme to be true. But it's happening today.
For decades, Florida's farmworkers have faced terrible abuses, brutal exploitation, and in the most extreme cases, forced labor. But almost as disturbing is the silence of Florida's governors - who have refused to condemn these abuses.
That's why we're calling on Florida Governor Charlie Crist to commit the full power of his office to addressing the plague of forced labor in Florida's fields.
