Thank a farm worker for putting food on your table!
An unprecedented number of consumers across America are questioning the system that puts food on their tables. Yet all too often, farm workers are left out of this discussion.
In California, farm workers have literally been paying with their lives when their employers fail to provide shade and drinking water during extreme temperatures. Nationally, farm workers die in workplace incidents five times more often than non-agricultural workers. Agriculture for most farm workers is hardly a sustainable profession.
Yet it should be, as we depend upon farm workers to put the wine, milk, fruits, vegetables and other products on our tables every day.
Today, consumers around the country are celebrating Food Day. Please add our voice to this movement for a healthier, more nutritious, just, humane and sustainable food supply. We ask that you take a moment not only to remember but to thank the workers who are in the fields rain or shine, hot or cold, to make sure our families enjoy the rich bounty of food we have come to expect.

Salutations
I am a 20-something discoverer who is actively against oppressive power, coffee, and meals without hot sauce. I am quite fond of freedom for all, honeybees, and cities (like Oakland, New York, Detroit). I believe music is a term that denotes pleasurable energy with more potential than we can imagine. You may know me from any of these. #realtalk #oo #meta
