"Joe" said this pic was from where he was pruning peach trees in Orosi, CA in December. "Temps were around 45° and the cold felt unbearable. I was climbing up and down a 8-foot ladder bundled up in my jacket and thick gloves. I did this work to feed my family." #WeFeedYou

Trump and his ICE mob are terrorizing our neighborhoods and making hard working immigrant families live in constant fear being ripped from their communities.

"Juan" is pruning grape vines in Fresno County. "After we finish our row, we go back to pick up any branches and do a quick clean up. The branches for these grape vines are cut completely off as these are the ones that will be machine picked. We earn 24 cents/vine." #WeFeedYou

The things we are seeing daily feel like a horror movie, but this is not fiction. It’s a new terrifying reality. Trump’s DHS mob are killing US citizens, taking kids from their schools & terrorizing hard working immigrants. We need you to DEMAND ACTION. act.seiu.org/a/do_not-fun...

A forage harvester chops alfalfa for silage, in Mettler CA in 42°temps. The machine blows it directly into trucks headed for dairy feed. The work requires tight coordination. In cold temps it's even harder as stiff hands and low visibility make the work more difficult. #WeFeedYou

"Leo" prunes grapevines in Fresno CA. "We get 32 cents/vine piece rate. I'm very fast and on a good day can make a 600 vine row or more. Slower workers take 2-3 days to do a row. By mid row, my arms cramp up and I am tired. This pic is when I'm halfway through a row." #WeFeedYou
