- "Susana" is hard at work in Woodlake CA harvesting lemons. "I earn $35 per 900lb crate. It is not easy work. I must move and go up and down a 12-foot ladder, while avoiding the thorns on the tree. The weather is cold & the ground is often muddy." #WeFeedYou

- "Arlo" has worked under a UFW contract for 35 yrs in Solidad CA. "I'm pruning grapevines. My union contract make sure I get gloves, shears & safety glasses to protect my eyes. Many without a Union contract don't get these protections unless they buy them themselves." #WeFeedYou
