OUR CORE PROGRAMS
Worker Outreach and Member Organizing
Using direct organizing tactics, such as visiting work-sites, distributing leaflets, Know Your Rights Trainings, Referrals to Services, and building a farmworker centered agenda that empowers workers to take action against exploitation and all its effects.
Radio Programs on 98.3 FM Radio Poder
With the slogan “La Voz del Pueblo” (The Voice of the People) – a high powered radio station reaching 350K people in the Mid-Willamette Valley. While this program is no longer housed at PCUN. PCUN sponsors several programs at the radio station, including (1) Justicia Ambiental, (2) La Hora De La Voz Del Pueblo, (3) La Hora Oaxaqueña, (4) La Hora Michoacana.
System’s Change and Grassroots Policy Advocacy
We change policy on the state and national levels. We advocate for pro-farmworker, and pro-immigrant policy in the state legislature, as well as in congress. PCUN also pushes for change through the circuit and supreme courts – while developing grassroots activists to lead change.
Healthy Workplaces
These projects involve national and statewide collaboration around issues such as documenting testimonies from farmworkers, and Latinx working families – in general toxic workplace environments. Healthy Workplaces is a rapid response program supporting workers in toxic workplace and community situations – includes creating healing spaces based on indigenous healing practices, and centering collective wisdom and community care.
Electoral Campaigns and Voter Engagement
We build a voice for Latinx immigrant families by ensuring Latinx voters turnout for BIPOC candidates and issues that aligned with “si se puede” values, dignity, and respect. We believe civic engagement can increase prosperity for immigrants, and people of color across the state. We believe in the power of the people, and in democracy.
