One thing about bachata...I love dancing it.
Bachata's origins are firmly rooted in the Dominican Republic, originating in the 20th century among rural, lower-class campesinos (farmworkers), mainly of African descent.
Bachata almost didn't make it out of the Dominican Republic…

Spending Workers Day with farmworkers who have been evicted from farms after working at these farms for decades. Ons Baiza Nie came with a team of top lawyers to assist at no cost to the evicted farmworkers. We hearing horror stories 🥲🥲🥲🥲

I think this video is representative for how farmworkers treat animals in the animal industry everywhere 👺

In most countries this abuse it is not shown because it is bad for business

You must be aware what is not shown is much worse than this

Stop supporting these industries…

Happy birthday to this civil rights giant!

My grandmother raised 8 kids in the Central Valley, as a farmworker and a single mother.

Everyday, I’m inspired by the work of Dolores and our farmworkers, and reminded of the opportunity to fight for workers’ everywhere.

An homage to the West Coast & our love for our Mexican American culture.
El Mundo Hazy IPA is as colorful as the CA poppy & bold like the brown brothers who protect the hood.
From farmworkers to street vendors, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Always down.

agriculture helps by providing the food we need to survive. It also contributes $7 trillion to the U.S. economy. Despite agriculture’s importance, the Economic External  reports that farmworkers are among the lowest-paid workers in the U.S

I have a feeling this 100% affordable housing project for farmworkers that were displaced by a mass shooting may end up being the final nail in the coffin for the Coastal Zone

what vision do the magacommunists, patsocs, etc have of the working class?

they do not see the refugee farmworkers from lands ravaged by war, nor the women & children losing fingers in factory machinery

they only see the myth of the strong, heroic white settler; a fascist myth

Defend Our Health is saddened by the news that LD 2273, a bill that would require farm workers to be paid a minimum wage, was vetoed.

Farmworkers deserve to make the same minimum wage as all other Maine employees and are entitled to fair wages under Maine’s labor laws.
