As we all experience this heat wave, I want to thank our hardworking farm workers who continue to work in the fields in record-breaking heat. I hope our farmers and ag companies are going above and beyond what's required by law and doing *everything* they can to provide hydration and shade in the fields so that workers are protected. Their lives depend on it. Stay healthy everyone and give thanks to the farm workers putting food on your table. Photo: @CalMatters

CA leaders, including @GavinNewsom, must work toward a healthy and climate-resilient food supply chain that will reduce fossil fuel + other emissions, ensure farmworkers have safe working conditions, and give access to fresh food throughout of the state. on.nrdc.org/3Xu6VpD

Cesar Chavez was a national hero who dedicated his life to uplift the lives of thousands of farmworkers. He forever changed the landscape of workers rights here in the Golden State and beyond. Today, it’s with deep respect and gratitude that we honor his enduring legacy.

If they shut down the government, they MUST stay in DC and not be allowed to go home at all. No even a weekend. And they must DONATE their pay to charity… don’t let them get away with “withholding their pay” only to be made up later. Especially for the “shut it down” caucus
