If it doesn't pass by then, it likely dies till 2027.
Since farmworkers were written out of labor laws in 1937, we have to win at the state level.

Safer Internet Day is really about small habits
Don’t click dodgy links
Delete emails that feel off
Watch for weird grammar
Be wary of surveys
Don’t engage with trolls, block them

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.
This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.
