The Harvest

THE HARVEST/LA COSECHA is the documentary film that tells the story of the children who feed America. Produced by @shineglobal

[Child Labor Coalition @ChildLaborCLC]

In the US, #childlabor law allows 12-year-olds to harvest tobacco which exposes kids to dangerous #nicotine poisoning. Yet, tobacco laws mandate you have to be 21 to buy cigarettes. #CAREact2022 would help protect child farmworkers from nicotine exposure.

[Shine Global @shineglobal]

We believe Congress should protect the rights, safety, and future of ALL America's children - incl those working in #Agriculture

Existing US child labor laws are woefully out of date and allow children as young as 12 to work dangerous jobs in agriculture. Congress should close the loopholes and pass the #CAREACT2022. @RepRoybalAllard @RepRaulGrijalva

A bill introduced today by @RepRoybalAllard and @RepRaulGrijalva would protect child farmworkers in the US from danger. @hrw proudly supports this bill. Congress should pass the #CAREACT2022. https://t.co/rzTNK0vKfc

The CARE Act would provide child farmworkers with important protections given to children working in all other sectors. #CAREACT2022

Children working in tobacco fields in the US are at risk of nicotine poisoning. One told @hrw: "Sometimes I felt like I needed to throw up. I felt like I was going to faint. I would stop and just hold myself up with the tobacco plant." Congress, pass the #CAREACT2022 now.

Congress has a moral obligation to protect the rights, safety, and educational future of America's children working in Agriculture. The #CareAct2022 was introduced today by @RepRoybalAllard and @RepRaulGrijalva

[Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard @RepRoybalAllard]

From the time that I first introduced the CARE Act in 2001, until now, a child working in agriculture has died every three days, and roughly 33 children are injured each day.

Congress has a moral obligation to act!

We need to pass the #CAREACT2022.

[Child Labor Coalition @ChildLaborCLC]

Today is Cesar Chavez day. The amazing union leader worked tirelessly to improve the lives of US farmworkers. Today, we work to improve protections for child farmworkers, allowed by US #ChildLabor law to work unlimited hours (as long as they are not missing school).

U.S. Customs is selectively lifting a ban on Malawi #tobacco once specific companies prove they were not using forced labor to harvest the crop. Limbe Leaf will once again be allowed in. #CSR #SupplyChains END #ChildLabor
