El Torneo de Futbol 2022

Last Saturday was the annual Torneo de Futbol de Justicia Migrante put on by Vermont’s Migrant Justice organization. (Click on the headline or photo for full post.) In the heart of northern New England virtually all the larger dairy farms run with the labor of migrant workers from Latin America. Many of them are invisible to Vermonters most of their working year, so the Torneo is a day to be out and celebrating. Farm workers from around the state and region played a soccer at the Tree Farm fields in Essex, VT, complete with tacos, arepas, music, spectators, and uniformed teams, playing hard in the blazing sun.
