"When you're undocumented, it really limits your ability to speak up and I want everyone to know the truth to what happens and that's we're too afraid to speak up in the workplace.”

#FarmWorkerLegalization would empower us to protect ourselves.

Throughout the instability of the pandemic, one thing has remained constant: our domestic food supply chain remained intact.

Our food supply is secure because of our 2.4 million farmworkers—half of whom are undocumented.

WATCH and tweet your support for #FarmworkerLegalization:

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Despite the triple threats of the pandemic, extreme heat waves, and record-breaking wildfires—not to mention the fear of deportation—farmworkers continue to show up to work.

It's time for Congress to show up for them. #FarmworkerLegalization

They are all essential. And many are undocumented.

Reminder, you take as much time as you need to accomplish YOUR goals! You’re not doing it for anyone else so be kind to yourself and be gentle to your mind and heart, there’s already so much going on right now being hard on yourself is something you don’t need currently.

One of the biggest misconceptions of Indigenous people in NA are that they lived simple, and remote lives. That's a convenient & purposeful erasure of our history of cultural complexity & travel. My tribe, from just south of Michigan, have a word for the Atlantic Ocean.

“Workers who shared the same cabin with the deceased were not tested for the virus and were then split up into different cabins with other migrant workers.

He said the farm owners did nothing to help the sick and just left them in their cabins to die.”

Juan shared this video of farm workers in Davenport CA. After the strawberry harvest is over, these workers must remove the plastic sheeting used to protect the stawberries from weeds. Each strip can weigh 50 to 60 lbs. Thank you Juan for sharing. #WeFeedYou

During cherry season our staff spent weeks on the road, reaching out via word of mouth, Whatsapp or simply looking for unprotected workers from public roads. We filed dozens of reports, but the workers move constantly and inspectors struggle to find them.

Others said they left Gebbers after seeing sick people sent to a remote camp without cellphone reception and, in some cases, dying alone. 

“If they got sick and got sent to those camps they might die there too, or not be able to get help," said UFW staff. https://t.co/ZD8h8WhZcw

The state of Washington has levied a historic $2 million fine against Gebbers Farms, for COVID-19 rule violations that sickened and killed H2-A guest workers this summer. 1/ https://t.co/ZPwevA5GR6

Why is Mitch McConnell refusing to agree to aid without shields for corporations? Let’s reflect on why corporations don’t want to be liable.

Last summer a massive outbreak swept through a Foster Farms plant. Hundreds got sick. At least 9 died. (1/thread)

Veronica shared this video of the carrot harvest in Arvin CA. She and her coworkers spend 8-9 hours on their knees picking and bunching carrots. When you use carrots in your soups or holiday stuffing remember the skilled work of farm workers who brought it to you. #WeFeedYou

Rogelio has worked at Monterey Mushroom Morgan Hill for 46 yrs. He’s proud of his work and the benefits of his union contract. Your #Thanksgiving meal supports farmworkers by including union products like these: https://t.co/cbp3IB1nRV #WeFeedYou #ThankAFarmWorker

Vicky shared a picture of the lemons she picked in Tulare CA. Vicky is paid per bin of lemons she picks. When you enjoy lemons in your water or iced tea, remember the farm workers like Vicky who brought them to you. #WeFeedYou #ThankAFarmWorker

“Please pay attention to our lives.”

@AP spoke to dozens of women on palm oil plantations who describe rapes, harassment and punishing physical effects of their brutal work, which feeds into top Western beauty brands.
