Alianza Agricola, Inc.

The Alianza Agrícola (Agricultural Alliance) is a group of farmworkers that strives to improve the living and working conditions of the im/migrant community throughout New York State. Alianza members participate in and lead advocacy efforts, educational/community outreach campaigns, and leadership development programs. While members live and work primarily in Western and Central New York, they collaborate with organizations around the state. In recent years, the Alianza and its partners won victories that guarantee drivers’ licenses for all residents in NY state, improve working conditions for agricultural workers, and protect their right to organize. Despite these victories, the im/migrant community in Upstate NY continues to face challenges that negatively impact their physical, social, and emotional well-being. The Alianza Agrícola actively addresses these factors and finds solutions that improve the lives of the organization’s members as well as the immigrant community at large.
