In 2004, New York's farmworkers stopped to rally at the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) headquarters on their way to the Capitol, winding up a 10-day, 200-mile walk for equal rights. CSEA members and staff joined them and showed support, handing out water to the thirsty and tired workers. CSEA is a longtime supporter of the Justice for Farmworkers campaign, led by the Rural and Migrant Ministry, committed to overcoming prejudices and poverty. CSEA urged members to join a May 12, 2009, rally in Albany to show state lawmakers that farmworkers cannot be forgotten for another 70 years.
