Let My People Go- NJ Day of Actions Against Immigration Enforcement: Cumberland County
Thanks to all those who joined us in Bridgeton, NJ on Thursday, July 1st, where we raised our voices to protest Immigration Detention and ICE/Police Cooperation.
This day of action was a part of the Interfaith Immigration Coalition's nationwide rolling vigils in all 50 states called the Isaiah 58 National Solidarity Vigil and Fast for Arizona. For coverage on the event, check out this article: Protesters in Bridgeton: End deportations! You can also check out pictures from the day on our Photos page.

International Workers' Day: May 1st, 2010
Saturday, May 1st, 2010, was International Workers' Day, and 160 of CATA's members and allies marched in Kennett Square, PA! It was a great day, full of speakers on Immigration Reform, the Arizona Bill SB 1070, and the Kaolin Workers' Union. After some great Mexican music from Banda Ilegal, we set out on our march through downtown Kennett Square, making our voices heard throughout the city! Click here to see our pictures from the day.

CATA MARKS 30 YEARS IN THE FIGHT FOR FARMWORKER JUSTICE. JOIN THE MOVEMENT. DONATE TODAY!
Over 30 years ago, farmworkers came together to establish CATA as a means to address the exploitation and discrimination they encountered while working and living in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.
What started off as a small volunteer effort has grown into an organization of members and supporters working on local, national and international farmworker issues.
CATA has made a great impact in the lives of the tens of thousands of migrant workers who have lived and worked in the area. Whether it has been educating them on their rights, building their leadership capacity, or organizing the community to provide testimonies and coordinate immigrant marches, CATA’s work continues to advance farmworker issues in solidarity with others so policies affecting all workers are improved. Without the support from people like you we would not have been able to achieve the many accomplishments we have realized over the years. For this, we extend our thanks and gratitude to all who have stood by us and ask your continued support. To keep the momentum going and expand our efforts, we call on you to recommit yourselves to workers’ and immigrants’ rights. Please continue to support farmworkers and contribute to CATA’s success in the next 30 years. THANK YOU!!
