Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project (FLAP)

For more than 21 years, the Farmworker and Landscaper Advocacy Project (FLAP) – Proyecto de Ayuda Para Trabajadores del Campo y Jardineros – has provided free and bilingual community outreach and education, community legal education, and linkage to legal services to very low-income Latinx immigrant laborers and their families who live and/or work in Illinois. The organization focuses on Suburban Cook County and a 25-county region of Northern and Central Illinois. FLAP’s mission is to improve working conditions for low-income workers and their households in the following industries: cannery, farms, greenhouse, landscaping, meat, nursery, packing house, poultry, restaurants and snow plowing.
