City of Madison, Wisconsin Underrepresented Communities Historic Resource Survey Report: United Migrant Opportunity Services (UMOS) was organized in Waukesha, Wisconsin in 1965 to arrange educational programs and daycare services to families of predominately Mexican migrant workers in rural Wisconsin. In 1966, UMOS assisted in organizing a migrant worker march from Wautoma to Madison to demand access to washrooms, better housing, a minimum wage, and compensation laws. The organization moved to Milwaukee in 1968. In 1976, UMOS opened a branch office in Madison at 7 N. Pinckney Street, which continues to operate to this day. Involved with UMOS since he was a college student in the late 1970s, Juan Jose Lopez served as the chairman of the Board of Directors for UMOS from 1983 to 2012. UMOS remains one of the oldest active migrant farm worker advocacy organizations in the United States to this day and continues to provide programs in child development, workforce development, and social services with its corporate offices in Milwaukee, 20 locations throughout Wisconsin, and branches in Florida, Minnesota, Missouri, and Texas. |
