If you think being mean to people on twitter will help your candidate win you are wrong. What works is canvassing voters & talking to your friends & neighbors in a constructive tone. Everything else is mastorbatory at best and most likely, destructive. I want to win. Do you?pic.twitter.com/UZgZmepBgJ

"In addition to the fact that farmworkers are exposed to heat, they’re wearing clothes to protect themselves which come into contact with pesticides. When they get home, their children run to hug them and are exposed to these pesticides,” says UFW Pres Emeritus @ArtieRodriguezpic.twitter.com/Rq8Rix6p7R

“We’ve seen the industry continue to prosper, and we’ve seen some really innovative changes,” says @ArtieRodriguez, describing novel shade tents with benches built for farm worker shade and rest breaks.pic.twitter.com/W7qOuUq1JD

The only way we can assure that Maria Isavel, Asuncion, Miguel Angel and others didn’t die in vain is by protecting the workers most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change with a national Heat Illness standard.pic.twitter.com/ivrZ6OoMIg

Amadeo took this video at 5:20 am. At this hour the plants are wet, and working with cold hands in slick conditions makes the work difficult. #WeFeedYoupic.twitter.com/2pYMm06v0T

These Ventura County farm workers shared their rainy worksite earlier this year. Heavy rains make for muddy working conditions but can also damage the delicate berries. #WeFeedYoupic.twitter.com/16pLFUSAD1

Strawberries just don't appear on the supermarket shelves. #Farmworker hands labor hard to harvest them. Let's give a shout out to the Central Coast men and women picking the sweet yummy fruit #WeFeedYoupic.twitter.com/gLP9NswvLr

It was 15° when Rafa shared this vid from WA where he works 8 hrs/day, 6 days/week pruning pear trees. He starts in the early am to shake the trees to remove the snow & begin to prune, climbing on frozen & slippery ladders. He's sad his work doesn't seem to be valued #WeFeedYoupic.twitter.com/IikbMeixs9

Artichokes taste yummy when they're boiled & the leaves are dipped in butter. But did you know how artichokes look in the fields? We got sent this pic from Salinas CA. To harvest this crop, workers go up & down the rows cutting these thick hard stems with a knife. #WeFeedYoupic.twitter.com/9e1nWNNy0l
