Eight people were killed and another 45 were injured when a pickup truck driver sideswiped a bus full of farmworkers in central Florida on Tuesday, officials said.

The driver has now been charged with eight counts of driving under the influence - manslaughter.

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Today in UFW history—April 17, 1975: Farm workers called the short-handled hoe el cortito (the short one) or El brazo del Diablo (the devil’s arm) since it forced them to toil hour after hour bent over weeding or cultivating, causing crippling back and skeletal injuries. 1/2

[United Farm Workers @UFWupdates]

Cesar Chavez’s chronic back pain was caused, in part, by using the hoe when he was a migrant farm worker. It was banned in CA on April 17, 1975, during Jerry Brown’s first term as governor as the result of a campaign led by Maurice “Mo” Jourdane, then an attorney with CRLA. 2/2

🚨#BREAKING: Swarms of Hundreds, possibly thousands, of undocumented immigrants have gathered outside New York City Hall for a meeting centered on their experiences

📌#Manhattan | #NewYork

Currently, hundreds, if not thousands, of undocumented immigrants are currently gathering outside New York City Hall, lining up for a meeting on migrants and their experiences in the city. The City Council is forming a team of advisors to enhance migrants' experiences, with the goal of improving conditions even further, according to speaker Adrienne Adams. She expressed pride in forming the New Arrivals Strategy Team, which will unite government experts and other stakeholders to craft a roadmap for advancing our city and better serving both newcomers and longtime residents in partnership with government and the non-profit sector.
