Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Joined our Members of Congress & state colleagues following what was a highly scripted tour of human cages at Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center. We were not allowed to speak to ANY detainee, though of course we pushed for more access. This is why the ability to visit unannounced is so important!

Senator Ossoff: “You can't claim to be for working men and women when you defund their hospitals and nursing homes….

You definitely can't claim to be for working men and women when you do these things so you can cut taxes for the richest people in the country.”

Let's be clear. Congress has the constitutional power to levy tariffs, not the president.

Call your reps and demand they pass immediate, veto-proof legislation to reclaim Congress's trade authority and stop Trump from single-handedly tanking our entire economy.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.
