Β‘SΓ Se Puede! UFW volunteers are in Nevada, a critical battleground state. They are pounding the pavement going door-to-door to get out the #vote in Tuesday's election! Their message: Β‘SΓ Se Puede con Harris!
"I'm in battleground state AZ, knocking on doors. This election is vital for farm workers. Kamala Harris has been a loyal friend of working people. Trumpβs campaign is built on hate and fear - terrorizing communities by saying immigrants are criminals." - UFW President Teresa Romero

Jesus has worked in Yakima WAs apple harvest for 20+ years. "It is very tiring work. I carry a heavy bag that I put the apples in. I must carry it up and down tall ladders as I harvest the apples. I have to be careful because it is very dangerous as one can fall." #WeFeedYou
Farmworkers in Oxnard CA harvested marigolds just in time for #DiaDeLosMuertos. The marigold is sometimes called Flor de Muerto ('Flower of Dead'). These flowers are thought to attract souls of the dead to the offerings and ensure eternal peace. #WeFeedYou
I'm on a bus to AZ to canvass & encourage others to #Vote. I voted because I owe it to my hard working immigrant parents who contribute to the US like any other American. As a 1st generation, Latina woman & daughter of farmworkers, I'm proud to be their voice. -Esmeralda, Fresno.
