Provision in California State Budget, passed yesterday, now exempts farmworker families from “50-mile rule” interrupting school year.

Center for Farmworker families founder, Dr. Ann Lopez speaks, in this new video, to the details of a small victory and what Center for Farmworker Families will be pushing for in 2018 to get rid of the 50-mile regulation, which is a violation of basic human rights and dignity.

Children across the San Joaquin Delta stand to lose up to six months of school due to recent changes announced by the Office of Migrant Services (OMS). Call OMS today and ask that they protect young people's right to an education.

This video, featuring Dr. Ann Lopez, is about the California Department of Housing and Development's 50 Mile Rule, one of the many arbitrary and oppressive regulations affecting our state's agricultural workers and their children's education.
