Jesus has worked in Yakima WAs apple harvest for 20+ years. "It is very tiring work. I carry a heavy bag that I put the apples in. I must carry it up and down tall ladders as I harvest the apples. I have to be careful because it is very dangerous as one can fall." #WeFeedYou

On #DiaDeLosMuertos the UFW wants to honor the martyrs of La Causa who gave us the most precious gift they possess - their very lives. Nan, Nagi, Juan, Rufino, & Rene are very special human beings. We will never let the sacrifice they have made for us be forgotten.

I'm on a bus to AZ to canvass & encourage others to #Vote. I voted because I owe it to my hard working immigrant parents who contribute to the US like any other American. As a 1st generation, Latina woman & daughter of farmworkers, I'm proud to be their voice. -Esmeralda, Fresno.

Workers spent their morning harvesting strawberries in the rain near Moss Landing CA. When they got a late morning lunch break they had to eat their lunch in the rain as there was no dry place to eat. #WeFeedYou
