UFW - fighting for farm workers since 1962. Sí se puede!

  1. Workers in Western NY are setting and adjusting the poles around growing apple trees. They do this to train the young trees to grow in a way that allows for the most efficient use of space and sunlight. #WeFeedYou

  2. Farm workers are hard at work weeding this Central Coast lettuce field. They share: Our hands hurt from the repetitive motion of doing this work 8 hours a day. And our feet get tired from walking the long fields all day. But it's honest work and helps feed America. #WeFeedYou

  4. Sweet potato workers in CAs Central Valley are hard at work weeding so the sweet potato crops don't lose any nutrients. There isn't any shade in the middle of the field where they were working this day w/temps in the 90s°. #WeFeedYou

  5. "Juana" just started working under a UFW contract and said “Thank you, God bless you!” to the senior workers who helped finish filling up her leek boxes at the end of the harvest day. #WeFeedYou

  6. We ask community members to be cautious, vigilantly observe, and reach out to us or to the ACLU if they have any specific information on this raid or similar activity.

    We will continue to evaluate and will vigorously defend our communities against any further unlawful actions.

  7. Upheld in that TRO: it is explicitly unlawful to stop or detain people based solely on generalizations about how they look, how they speak, or where they are, including where they work. It applies to Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties.

  8. We are deeply troubled by apparent raids in Southern California, including one involving a Penske truck filled with agents descending on day laborers today. While more investigation is needed, we have serious concerns that the federal government may be in violation of the federal judge's July TRO.
