The reality is that our food system is broken and exploitative. Until we fix it, it will continue to rely on both legal and unauthorized labor to function.

We just updated our #Immigration and the #FoodSystem fact sheet to get beyond the rhetoric to see where things stand and how they got that way.
Immigration and the Food System – Farm Aid
Immigrants are deeply involved in the complex journey our food takes to get from seed to plate. Get the facts on how they impact our food system.

It’s an open secret among medical professionals: Many drugs maintain their ability to combat ailments well after their expiration date. One pharmacist says he sometimes takes home expired OTC medicine so he and his family can use it.

(Published 2017, but there's no expiration date for this story)
The Myth of Drug Expiration Dates
Hospitals and pharmacies are required to toss expired drugs, no matter how expensive or vital. Meanwhile the FDA has long known that many remain safe and potent for years longer.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
