SAME in Simcoe

The Students Against Migrant Exploitation (SAME) along with youth volunteers from UFCW Canada Local 1977 are at the AWA Simcoe Centre today.

The SAME students are there as part of their outreach caravan that kicked off this week to promote the AWA to community members and agriculture workers in general in the Niagara and Simcoe regions. The youth group from Local 1977 visit the centre to get a first hand idea about the issues surrounding agriculture workers in Canada.

Both groups are an extension of the efforts of UFCW Canada and the AWA team to get university students and high school students involved in social justice issues and specially about migrant agriculture workers.

We will continue updating this story over the weekend with some of the important work these groups of students are providing the AWA centres of Simcoe and Virgil.
