AFOP's Children in the Fields Campaign strives to improve the quality of life of migrant and seasonal farmworker children by advocating for enhanced educational opportunities and the elimination of discriminatory federal child labor laws in agriculture. Since 1997, AFOP’s Children in the Fields Campaign has been dedicated to ensuring that farmworker children are protected and given an opportunity
to succeed in life. By educating the public, advocating for educational programs for farmworker children, and supporting fair living wages for all farmworkers, the Children in the Fields Campaign strives to get farmworker children out of the fields and back into schools. The Children in the Fields Campaign has partnered with the Child Labor Coalition, the National Consumers League, and other concerned parties to protect farmworker children. Together, they work to publicize the plight of this hidden population and advocate for federal policies that would strengthen the child labor safeguards in agriculture so that they are just as protective as those in other industries. In 2009, the Children in the Fields Campaign launched a new phase to increase grassroots efforts in five key states and garner support for better protection of farmworker children under the law, providing them with equal opportunities for success. Regional Coordinators in the farmworker communities of California, North Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, and Texas have formed community coalitions and farmworker youth councils to raise awareness about the persistent issue of child labor in our agricultural system.

Soy un estudiante de quinto grado que ha aprendido más sobre la importancia del trabajo de mi papá. Parte del trabajo de mi papá incluye plantar sandías, papas y tomates. Necesitamos alimentos para sobrevivir y crecer. El arduo trabajo de mi papá le permite cuidarnos y alimentarnos. Su arduo trabajo nos mantiene saludables, vestidos y con un techo sobre nuestras cabezas. Estoy orgullosa del gran trabajo que hacen mis padres. Mis padres están ayudando a personas en todo el mundo, contribuyendo a los ecos de la cosecha que alimentan y sostienen innumerables vidas.

My drawing includes the theme of The Echoes of the Harvest because there are children working in the fields, and there are also vegetables. I am very grateful for the farmworkers who work many hours under the sun.
