Adelaida shared this pic of a snake found in the wine grape vines where she works near Mattawa WA. Farmworkers face dangers like this every day. They risk their health and safety to ensure we can all put food on our tables. They deserve #FarmWorkerLegalization. #WeAreHome

Maria works in different jobs in ag all year round. She says "We work hard to get ahead. I think that all my colleagues have the same fear, immigration will stop us and separate us from our children. Farm workers need to feel safe and not walk with fear all the time." #WeAreHome

Farmworkers are 35x more likely to die due to heat exposure compared to any other occupation. And remember all farmworkers are considered essential workers and have not had the option to shelter in place. The last thing they should have to worry about is citizenship status! https://twitter.com/UFWupdates/status/1417913933113950208

Despite the triple threats of the pandemic, extreme heat waves, and record-breaking wildfires—not to mention the fear of deportation—farmworkers continue to show up to work.

It's time for Congress to show up for them. #FarmworkerLegalization
