The Humans Who Feed Us portrait exhibit will expand to be showcased in places where food is served and sold around the United States, from restaurants to universities, all as we call on Congress to create a pathway to citizenship and protections for immigrant essential workers.

[Justice for Migrant Women @mujerxsrising]

The national launch of @humanswhofeedus features the unique stories of 20+ immigrant essential workers in different parts of the food supply chain, including farmers, farmworkers and dairy, poultry, restaurant & grocery workers, to showcase their contributions to our food system

[Justice for Migrant Women @mujerxsrising]

Essential workers plant, pick, pack, transport, sell, prepare and serve the food that sustains us. Many of them are immigrants. They are the #HumansWhoFeedUs. As we approach a season of celebrations & big meals, we honor them.

Essential workers put their lives on the line during COVID-19. Many of them had no choice, and many of them died while trying to keep our communities safe and healthy. This year on Día de los Muertos, we #HonorEssentialWorkers lives and their contributions. 🧵

We share the stories of #EssentialWorkers, such as that of Yimel who was determined to make a better future for her mother, her sister, and herself. We honor you, Yimel.

This Día de los Muertos, we will #HonorEssentialWorkers across the world that died while working to protect our communities. Protection means keeping us healthy, fed, cared for and so much more.

Update: Still over here fighting for #LatinaEqualPay. Let's make equal pay an every day occurrence for Latinas, for all who identify as women & for all people. Take action here: https://t.co/jiYuj0g46b #LatinaEqualPay #LatinasCantWait #DemandMore @mujerxsrising

[Justice for Migrant Women @mujerxsrising]

Latinas make just 57 cents, on average, for every $1 made by white, non-Hispanic men. Over the course of a 40 year career, Latinas stand to lose more than $1 million. We're outraged-are you? On #LatinaEqualPay Day we are DEMANDING more.

[Essential Ohio @EssentialOh]

@MonicaRamirezOH @mujerxsrising If you are looking for information on leadership, how to negotiate for your pay, how to build your confidence, WELD is here with open arms. @smootb1 @WELD_Columbus

[Essential Ohio @EssentialOh]

Latinas in Ohio are paid $15.35 in essential jobs and $14.71 in nonessential jobs. In comparison, White non-hispanic men are paid $20.22 in essential jobs and $23.94 in nonessential jobs. #LatinaEqualPay @MonicaRamirezOH @mujerxsrising

[Essential Ohio @EssentialOh]

We would be remiss if we do not point out that this .57 cent to the dollar likely does not count many women. The average pay gap is based on the wages that are reported. @MonicaRamirezOH @mujerxsrising #LatinaEqualPay

[Essential Ohio @EssentialOh]

Oct. 21 is #LatinaEqualPay Day: Latinas make $.57 for every $1 made by white men. Join @EssentialOH & partners for a conversation about closing the wage gap in OH because #LatinasCantWait. Tune in 10:00amET on Oct 21:
