so i just came across this survey showing that more than 90% of California farmworkers are feeling the heat from immigration enforcement and it’s got me thinking about how trump's policies have really been a punch in the gut for these hard-working folks. this survey, which talks about the need for unionization, highlights how the fear of deportation is affecting their daily lives and work conditions, and it’s just heartbreaking to see how the rhetoric and actions from trump's administration have created a toxic environment for immigrants who contribute so much to our economy. these farmworkers are the backbone of the agricultural industry, yet they’re facing constant threats that make it hard for them to stand up for their rights. it’s like they’re being squeezed between a rock and a hard place, and this isn’t just about politics, it’s about real people and real lives. we should be supporting their fight for better working conditions and rights instead of letting fear dictate their lives. this matters because when we ignore the struggles of our essential workers, we’re failing to uphold the values that should define us as a nation. let’s not forget that their work feeds us all, and they deserve better than this. we need to listen to their voices and push for change, not just sit back and let the status quo continue to hurt them. check out the full article for more details (https://www.instagram.com/p/DbzMqWXDH13/)

UFW Foundation on Instagram: "More than 90% of California farmworkers say immigration enforcement operations and deportations have affected their employment under President Donald Trump’s second term. That’s according to a new survey released Thursday morning by the UFW Foundation, which is a farm worker advocacy organization separate from the historic labor union. The survey, which consisted of 2,250 farmworkers, is a window into how the nationwide surge in immigration enforcement has affected a heavily undocumented workforce in California.
