For more than thirty years, the Migrant Legal Action Program (MLAP) has provided legal representation and a national voice for migrant and seasonal farmworkers, the poorest group of working people in the United States.

MLAP works to enforce rights and to improve public policies affecting farmworkers' working and housing conditions, education, health, nutrition, and general welfare. The program works with an extensive network of local service providers.

MLAP staff is actively involved in litigation, legislative, and administrative advocacy, directly or in conjunction with legal services programs and/or the private bar. MLAP also provides extensive support to local migrant service providers through training, technical assistance, and other services.
