RAMA Isla

RAMA Isla is a chapter of the grassroots migrant justice collective, Radical Action with Migrants in Agriculture (RAMA Okanagan).

We are based on W̱SÁNEĆ and Lək̓ʷəŋən territories and provide outreach on southern Vancouver Island. Our objective is to listen to migrant farmworkers and develop a support network based on their needs that ensures respect for their rights and well-being.  

RAMA Isla was formed in 2020 in response to a lack of community awareness and services for migrant farmworkers on the island. Our recent efforts have focused on workers’ health concerns during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has disproportionately impacted farmworkers and their access to the provincial healthcare system.
