"Juana" is harvesting citrus in Fresno CA. "It's a hard job. I climb a 20 foot ladder carrying an 80lb sack of oranges. It takes 2-3 hrs to fill the bin in the picture. I earn $35-50/bin depending on the type. I work hard to provide food and shelter for me and my son." #WeFeedYou

LOL when people who do sports betting, ie., dumbest thing you can do with your money outside burning it in a tire fire, lose and complain about the people doing the sports. No one forced you to put money on it. That was your brilliant choice.

"Lola" is harvesting apples in Washington State. "We need to buy our own scissors and bag to do the job. The scissors cost $35 and the bag costs $90. Right now it's peak season and the trees are full of apples. If we work fast we can make around $140 in 8 hours. " #WeFeedYou

"Eri" is harvesting olives near Redley CA and often ends up making below minimum wage. "Farm labor is not valued. The bosses don't care. We earn very little and the work is very risky with us climbing a 16ft ladder. It's the rainy season & our checks are very low." #WeFeedYou

Today is the 70th anniversary of Rosa Parks' arrest. Six myths: 1) She wasn't old or tired. 42 years old that day, she had a "life history of being rebellious" & had spent two decades helping to turn the Montgomery NAACP into a more activist branch alongside ED Nixon and Johnnie Carr.

Farm workers are harvesting green onions by hand in Kern County CA. They bend over for long hours, cutting, bunching, and stacking the onions into crates loaded onto nearby trailers. The work is physically demanding, requiring precision and endurance under the sun. #WeFeedYou
