Community Unites to Honor Farmworkers in Brawley

BRAWLEY, Calif. (KYMA)Farmworkers from across the northern Imperial Valley were treated to a special night Friday as the Comité de Acción del Valle hosted its first-ever appreciation dinner.

The year-old community group brought everyone together for free food, music, and support, all to make farmworkers feel valued and celebrated. Several local organizations, including QueerCasa, the Mexican Consulate, and the ACLU, also joined in to offer resources and show their appreciation.

“They’re Important to the Imperial Valley, and they're important to California” said Rubén Partida of Comité de Acción del Valle.

Comité de Acción del Valle says this is just the beginning of more events aimed at uplifting the workers who keep local agriculture moving.
