The Ongoing Fight for Farm Worker Justice in New York - NFWM Webinar Replay

The Ongoing Fight for Farm Worker Justice in New York
Recorded Live: July 25, 2025

Across New York State, farm workers continue to face unsafe working conditions, wage theft, and labor rights violations—despite the passage of landmark legislation in 2019. This timely conversation brings together organizers and legal advocates who are fighting for the dignity, rights, and safety of those who harvest our food.

Panelists:
• Rev. Richard Witt, Executive Director of Rural & Migrant Ministry
• Amy Kadlubeck, Director of Outreach, Worker Justice Center of New York

Moderator:
• Rev. Dr. Nathan Hosler, Director of the Church of the Brethren’s Office of Peacebuilding and Policy in Washington, D.C., and President of National Farm Worker Ministry’s Board of Directors

Together, they discuss policy updates, on-the-ground organizing, and what’s needed to ensure that justice is not just promised—but delivered—for farm workers in New York and beyond.
