RAMA
About Us
RAMA is a migrant justice collective that advocates for Latin American and Caribbean migrant farm workers in the unceded Syilx and Secwepemc territories of the Okanagan Valley. We work to build radically inclusive and more socially just communities by engaging in political advocacy, accompaniment, direct support work, public awareness campaigns, and the documentation of workers’ conditions and experiences. We are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit group.
We recognize that our organizing takes place within the unceded traditional territories of the Sylix and Secwepemc peoples.
Efforts to connect with communities and stand in solidarity with Indigenous grassroots movements are central to our work. We also recognize that systemic racism, colonialism and capitalism are at the root of our collective struggles. We feel it is our responsibility to build strong alliances so that we can, together, overcome these oppressive forces.
