Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project (FLAP) staff and Community Navigators-Independent Contractors seek to educate low-income workers about their rights in the workplace.

FLAP staff and Community Navigators-Independent Contractors travel across Illinois to inform low-income workers about their rights and the legal resources available to them.

Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project
The Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project-Proyecto de Ayuda para Trabajadores del Campo y Jardineros-FLAP's mission is to improve working conditions and opportunities for low-income workers and their households in the cannery, farms, greenhouse, landscaping, meat, nursery, packinghouse, poultry, restaurants, and snow plowing industries. The organization advances its mission through advocacy, community outreach and education, litigation, community legal education, information and referrals, partnering with other organizations to combat human labor trafficking, preventing family separations by helping immigrants secure dual citizenship for their children, and facilitating access to cash transfers for very low-income populations. FLAP provides these services free of charge and without regard to immigration status.
