Farmworkers feed America — often in dangerous conditions for low wages.

Last summer, at a legal clinic we hosted with @ufw.bsky.social, we heard directly from immigrant farmworkers about their experiences working in the field.

What they shared ⤵️

Behind Every Meal: The Farmworkers Who Feed America
Over the summer of 2024, in collaboration with United Farm Workers, we sat down with several farmworkers, volunteers, and organizers to hear their stories.

“Rosa” shared this pic of her crew returning to the fields to finish harvesting cilantro after their morning break near Moorpark CA. She works piece rate so needs to work as fast as she can but on especially hot days like today, must take a break so she can hydrate. #WeFeedYou

There is never a suggestion, of course, that the rich, who have functionally stolen people’s wages and engorged themselves by denying them healthcare, are in any way to blame, writes @liztheoharis.kairoscenter.org: www.commondreams.org/opinion/bibl...
Beware Rich Men Quoting the Bible to Punish the Poor | Common Dreams
​The Trump administration and its theological apologists are working overtime, using Jesus’ name and the Bible’s contents in even more devastating rounds of immoral biblical (mis)references.

"Julia's" picking tomatoes CA San Joaquin Valley. " I get up at 2am to get ready for the day. We start work early cause of the heat. Once it gets hot, we can't harvest as fast. We usually work 4-5 hrs. It's hard, but this is peak season when we could earn the most." #WeFeedYou

As kids head back to school this year, public education is under attack from Trump's assault on the Dept of Ed and the rise of voucher programs.

These attacks threaten to rob kids of a quality education.
