WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN.

But with UFW, they got their jobs BACK. Winning a UFW contract is next!

Please spread the word! It can save a life.
Working in the heat shouldn’t be a death sentence.

We are proud to endorse @Eloise4Senate, a fearless champion for the rights of farm workers!
She has fought for workers again and again.
We are excited to continue working with her when she is elected to the State Senate.

Why would @Instar_Group want to be associated with cruelty like this?
