I was born and raised in CAs Central Valley and I'm voting #YesOnProp50. Farm workers and people of color are suffering under this administration's racial profiling. Prop 50 gives us the opportunity to fight back on the power grab that TX Republicans and Trump are attempting.

It may be raining, but Kern County CA farm workers are hard at work harvesting carrots. #WeFeedYou Puede que esté lloviendo, pero los campesinos del condado de Kern, California, están trabajando arduamente cosechando zanahorias. #SoyEsencial

"Meche" works making raisins in Fresno CA. Fresh grapes are placed on sheets of paper and then laid on the sand between rows. The suns heats the sand and dries out the grapes. She can feel the heat from the sand through her shoes while she earns 35 cents for each sheet. #WeFeedYou

"Saul" shared this from where he and his coworkers are picking strawberries in Salinas, CA. "We are working piece rate and have to work as fast as we can to make as many boxes as possible and earn as much money as we can. We get very tired from bending over all day." #WeFeedYou

"Leo" share this from where he was pruning pistachio trees in Madera, CA. "It's tough work. The trees are tall and we have to have our arms up all day. The shears we use weigh about 7 lbs. Our arms & hands are very sore at the end of the day. We earn CA minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

"Mona" was pruning citrus trees in CAs Central Valley. It was over 100° on this day. She sat down, putting an ice water bottle on her head to cool off a little. She is glad she's able to rest & cool off when she needs it, thanks to the CA heat laws the UFW fought for. #WeFeedYou

Farm workers are "supposed to" get 5 paid sick days a year. Non-union workers have been telling us that's not happening. Donate to help workers win union contracts where their legal rights are respected.

The UFW wishes our Jewish friends a sweet #RoshHashanah. The first institutional religious support for grape strikers came when boards of rabbis in big Eastern cities declared boycotted products non-Kosher. More @ ufw.org/roshhashanah

Farm workers move rapidly in the field to harvest hundreds of boxes full of parsley throughout the day. #WeFeedYou Los campesinos se mueven rápidamente en el campo para cosechar cientos de cajas llenas de perejil durante todo el día. #SoyEsencial

UFW remembers Rene Lopez who sacrificed his life for La Causa (1962-1983) On Sept. 21, 1983, Rene Lopez, a worker at Sikkema Dairy near Fresno, was shot to death by company goons hired to harass the strikers who were attempting to bring in the UFW to represent them.
