Abstract

Our report presents a fisheye view of one such mobilization in the state of Colorado involving Project Protect Food System Workers which organized a network of promotoras (advocates) across the state while working towards successful passage of SB087, a Colorado’s Farm Worker Bill of Rights.

A vibrantly green book cover features the title "Love in the Time of La Corona" in prominent white script at the bottom left. Above it, the text "NACCS Conference 2001 Proceedings" is displayed. The background is a rich emerald green with a subtle pattern of stylized floral and leaf motifs. Scattered across the cover are several translucent, orb-like illustrations resembling viruses, each containing different imagery.
