WHAT'S NEW:
May 2, 2012:
· We have updated and added many flyers in our Community Education Materials page. One of our newest flyers is "Right to Access Migrant Labor Camps," which discusses the right of camp residents to receive visitors and the right of migrant service agencies to visit workers in employer-owned housing.
April 25, 2012:
· We occasionally update a list of H2A jobs that Michigan agricultural employers will be trying to fill. If employers do not find enough U.S. workers for the jobs, they will likely bring in workers from other countries. The 2012 list, as well as lists from prior years, can be found on our H2A page.
April 17, 2012:
· We have posted our new Farmworker Calendar for 2012-2013. It runs from May 2012 to April 2013 and contains valuable information in English and Spanish about the rights of farmworkers. Click on Farmworker Calendar in the left-hand menu, or click here.

August 18, 2011:· We had several wonderful interns with us this summer, most of whom have left us to get ready for school again. We had five legal interns: Andrew Hass, Diana Marin, Hilly McGahan, Kelly Sawyer, and Tayler Summers. We had a Kalamazoo College intern, Allie Seiwert, and an intern from Western Michigan University, Kelsey Grabill. We have two more WMU students who will be with us full-time a little longer until school starts: Hector Silva and Diana Cardoso.
