Annual Award Reception

Hosted by the National Education Association

The 2013 Farmworker Justice Award will be presented to Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who represents the 3rd Congressional District, in southwestern Arizona. The son of a farmworker who labored under the Bracero program, Rep. Grijalva has been a strong supporter of farmworkers, workers’ rights and immigration reform.

The 2013 Shelley Davis Memorial Award will be presented to Nelson Carrasquillo, the General Coordinatorof Comite de Apoyo para los Trabajadores Agricolas (CATA). Farmworker Justice has worked with CATA over many years on a range of issues, including the H-2A guestworker program, immigrants’ rights, and occupational safety and health. CATA has been a very effective organization, one that Shelley Davis, our late Deputy Director, collaborated with for years.
