As the growing season ends and the fields start to empty, many agricultural and farm workers face months without steady income.

Heat exhaustion is even more dangerous for pregnant farmworkers. Workers need stronger protections NOW for their health and safety-- and their babies!

Heat exhaustion is dangerous. Heat stroke can be deadly. Please remember, you cannot hydrate your way out of heat illness. Take frequent rest breaks with your whole body in shade. Heat kills! Especially if doing physically demanding work in high temperatures. #WeFeedYou #CALOR

As long as immigration sweeps are happening in the communities that farm workers live in, farm workers will continue being detained and deported.

Farm workers deserve REAL protections, so they can continue working without fear.

After early reprieve from immigration enforcement, farming industry reckons with raids
The Trump administration's immigration enforcement mostly left farms and meat packing plants alone, until coordinated raids last week. Now, President Trump is signaling continued support for farmers.

A “shift” never happened. A chaotic raid at a worksite and a warrantless sweep in our communities have the same outcome. Bullshit rhetoric aside, they’re hunting us down while we’re trying to feed you.

Who’s actually in charge?
Washington Post screenshot Trump officials reverse guidance exempting farms, hotels from immigration raids ICE agents have been told to continue conducting enforcement operations at agricultural businesses despite concerns about negative effects on the food industry.
