GET PRINTED MATERIAL
This was a first-of-its-kind effort to leverage the strong oral tradition prevalent among California’s farmworkers by delivering preparedness information through audio in a variety of languages commonly spoken by our essential farmworkers, including indigenous languages. Listos California provided a grant to United Way Fresno and Madera Counties (UWFM) to collaborate in partnership with Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indígena Oaxaqueño (CBDIO) and Mixteco / Indígena Community Organizing Project (MICOP) to create audio recordings of disaster preparedness information.
