Comunidades Aliadas Tomando Acción (Allied Communities Taking Action)  is a grassroot led organization serving vulnerable, minorities and farm working communities. Since the beginning of the pandemic, Comunidades Aliadas Tomando Acción, has been taking on the initiative to be educated, so we can better inform the farmworker and marginalized communities. Due to many disadvantages and systemic environmental injustices this organization was created by farm workers with the purpose of supporting communities of color. We recognize the valuable organizers and powerful farm workers that work in collaboration with other groups to change systems while transforming their lives.

Our mission is to motivate and empower low-income, and farmworker communities to pursue lifelong learning opportunities. We are working together towards social and environmental  justice by encouraging education, wellness, developing leadership among youth, and residents. Our vision is to create a culture of well-informed residents  and secure healthy environments with more protections and our goal is to continue informing vulnerable communities on different topics such as heat illness prevention, health education, healthy, safe and sustainable environments. We are glad to say that we have increased healthy lifestyle outcomes and have created safe environments in low-income communities. Residents are taking action to live a healthier, informed and more dignified lifestyle.

Familias Unidas por la Justicia  is an independent farm worker union of indigenous families located in Burlington, WA representing over 500 Triqui, Mixteco, and Spanish speaking workers at Sakuma Bros. Berry Farm. Familias Unidas formed in 2013 with the hopes of securing a better future for hand harvesters in the local berry fields of Whatcom and Skagit Counties in Washington State. Nearly four years later, on September 12, 2016, Familias Unidas won a historic secret ballot election ushering in a new era for farm worker justice in WA State. Familias Unidas is led by a leadership team including Ramon Torres, President, and Felimon Pineda, VP.

The contract with Sakuma Bros. guarantees a $15 hourly wage, sets up a process to calculate a fair piece-rate wage for berry pickers, establishes a grievance process and protects against arbitrary termination, among other protections of basic worker rights. Ramon Torres has said, “The union helps workers understand their rights and empowers them to stand up for themselves. It is the goal of Familias Unidas that the workers manage the contract themselves.”
