Proud of my colleague @RepDebHaaland — a trailblazing, uniquely qualified nominee to serve as Interior Secretary. She'll lead the fight against climate change, protect public lands and natural resources, and represent Indigenous peoples and all Americans. https://t.co/D1qsPppOuD
Read this essential reporting from @oliviacpaschal and Rachell Sanchez-Smith on the experience of workers at smaller poultry companies in the South, which have faced much less scrutiny than Tyson, JBS, etc. during the pandemic.
“Plant manager Tom Hart organized a cash-buy-in, winner-take-all, betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many plant employees would test positive for COVID-19.”
While ignoring worker safety, they bet money on how many would get sick. https://t.co/DhWnx6oAT3
Earlier today, farm worker and @UFWF activist Maria Aguilar called in to the CA Assembly Labor and Employment Committee's hearing about COVID-19 safeguards for essential workers. Listen to the emotion in her voice.
"We are not animals," she says.
This week, Tyson Foods surpassed 11,000 worker cases of Covid-19 (9% of its workforce), by far the most of any meatpacker. Cases are ticking up at the company's poultry plants in Arkansas.

👇🏼 The Latinx community is already making history. Over 8M of us have voted early, compared to 3.7M in 2016. That’s a product of the organizers on the ground & young voices that have led us forward.
A nurse from an @ICEgov detention center filed a whistleblower complaint reporting horrid COVID conditions and hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women.
Sterilizations have a grotesque history in this country — @HispanicCaucus is investigating these serious allegations.
LWV Arkansas has filed a lawsuit seeking to reinstate the @ARVotersFirst-initiated constitutional amendment calling for a fair, citizen-led redistricting process on the Nov. ballot. The group collected nearly 150K signatures in support of the initiative. https://t.co/QyUSAUszPp
The air quality Salinas farm workers were laboring under yesterday was harsh. Let's hear it for these farm workers who make sure we can keep on enjoying our strawberries. #WeFeedYou
Farm workers don't get to use Zoom to harvest our food. Ramiro sent us this photo from Salinas CA where he is currently harvesting lettuce during the wildfires, despite the air quality being "very unhealthy ." #WeFeedYou
