Please make yourself heard - it doesn't take long - we need extreme heat regulation so that our farm workers can be safe. Right now the situation is pretty dire for the people that feed us, and the regulation will make a huge difference to their well-being.

This #LaborDay, we're celebrating the power of workers! Across industries, we are standing strong & winning—from fast food workers to care workers. We're showing that when we unite and fight, we hold greedy CEOs accountable & secure what we're rightfully owed.

While many of us are enjoying #LaborDay as a day off, farm workers are laboring in the fields. Yesi sent this pic while working in the sweet potatoes in Merced County CA. They work for minimum wage while bringing this vegetable to our tables. #WeFeedYou

Nearly three-quarters of all agricultural workers in the United States are foreign-born, meaning that if we were to eliminate the critical labor of immigrant workers, our food supply would face catastrophic collapse. More from Gabe Ortíz ⬇️ #LaborDay

A special #LaborDay message from the children of hard working farm workers! They thank their parents for the hard work they do to feed their families and put food on tables across America! #WeFeedYou

The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about the people. ~ Cesar Chavez On #LaborDay may we give thanks to the tireless workers who bring food to our tables. If you are not following United Farm Workers today is the day.

We were sent this photo from a worker laboring in the pistachio harvest in Lost Hills CA. It was 101°. This machine shakes the trees. The pistachios are then caught in a separate sweeper. Farm workers go behind it and pick up any remaining pistachios. #HeatJustice #WeFeedYou

Two Delta workers died in a preventable maintenance accident last week. Delta remains the only major US airline without majority union representation. With one OSHA inspector per 78k workers, unions are workers' best shot at winning safety on the job. peoplesworld.org/article/deaths…

Workers have just cleared this field. They usually harvest and pack fruits and vegetables, but some make a dime per hr more to operate the heavy machinery. They don't think it's enough to offset the risks, but it's a living. #WeFeedYou

Kern County farm workers like Teresa will bunch up hundreds of small onions during the summer heat. They do this on their hands and knees for up to 8 hours each day. #WeFeedYou
