We've got to stop Trump's farm worker wage cuts. Their H-2A rule change drastically cuts wages for H-2A farm workers and local workers alike. We filed suit in federal court to block it, but lawsuits take a long time and are very expensive. Please help. act.seiu.org/a/trumpswagecu…

"Benito" is hard at work harvesting avocados. " In the rainy season it is very dangerous. I must climb a 9ft ladder carrying 50 to 60 pounds on my shoulder. I do this work to support my family of 3. Sadly despite my effort, I barely have enough to cover the rent." #WeFeedYou

Hundreds of farmworkers from CA, GA, WA & TX rallied at the Fresno federal court on Wed. to support a lawsuit challenging the Trump admin rule that undercuts the jobs and wages of US farmworkers and expanding the exploitative H2A ag guestworker program. dailykos.com/stories/2026/3…

"Fidel" has been working in the strawberries for many years. "I do this as strawberry harvesting is nearly year-round work in Oxnard CA. I earn minimum wage. The work is hard and tiring, especially right after a rain when the rows are full of water." #WeFeedYou

Hundreds of farm workers and their supporters from across CA and the U.S. were in Fresno today rallying outside of the federal courthouse. The rally took place while our case against the Trump Administration's H-2A wage cuts was heard inside the courthouse.

Sowing carrot beds in Tejon CA. The driver watches the vacuum seeder to make sure every seed hits the right depth and spacing. The ground crew checks for clogged lines and clears out debris. If even one line is missed you end up with 100s of feet of empty beds. #WeFeedYou

"Susana" shares, "We are a crew of farm workers from the Imperial Valley. We're harvesting Rappini broccoli. Our hands get tired from cutting bunches of the vegetable by hand all day long." #WeFeedYou

"Soledad" is harvesting strawberries in Oxnard, CA. "It's a very difficult job, and it's even harder when it rains because of the mud in the rows makes the ground slippery and picking harder." #WeFeedYou

"Juan" is prunning grape vines in Merced County to get ready for this year's grape season. "It's cold in the early mornings. Pruning the thick vines is difficult because working in the cold makes my hands hurt. But this is the work available and it feeds my family." #WeFeedYou

"Ira" is getting new vegetable beds leveled out. "I use a rear blade to smooth everything down so the planting crew has a flat surface to work with. If the grade is off by even an inch, water will pool in the low spots and drown the crop while the high spots stay dry." #WeFeedYou

Sweet potato workers in Merced county are laying out sweet potatos in rows to make the hotbeds for the new season. "Adrian" shares, "It's physically demanding to push the bins full of sweet potato and load it up on the machine. I work long days to feed my family of 4." #WeFeedYou
