Application for Florida Trip

It's time for you to become a #TomatoRabbi!

Want to meet the best workers' rights organization in America today?

Want to understand how one industry went from "ground zero" for modern slavery to zero slavery cases?

Travel to Florida with T'ruah to learn more!

Since 2009, T'ruah has been one of the leading Jewish voices in the fight against human trafficking and modern slavery. Travel with us to Florida to meet with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and learn about their success bringing a new day to Florida tomato workers, through raising wages and partnering with growers and retailers to ensure human rights are respected in the fields. You will have the opportunity to  meet with the workers, mobilize for action in your community, meet with the first grower to join the Fair Food Program, and join the more than 80 #TomatoRabbis who are inspiring the Jewish community to be part of the Campaign for Fair Food.

Read more about T'ruah's support for the CIW and watch our film "Tomato Rabbis."
