Farm labor is growing. Protections aren’t.

The U.S. Farmworker Protection Act would cap the H-2A program, protect union workers, and crack down on exploitation.

Farm workers deserve safety, fair pay, and dignity.

On September 8, 1965, Filipino farmworkers, members of AWOC, led by Larry Itliong, walked out of Delano’s grape fields & called on NFWA to join.

Together, they sparked a historic strike for dignity & justice. Their power lives on, when we rise together, we win. ✊🏽

The CEC supports the reintroduction of the Asunción Valdivia Heat Illness, Injury and Fatality Prevention Act of 2025 to protect workers from deadly heat. There’s no federal heat standard, this bill would change that. Call your reps and demand action. Voluntary guidelines don’t save lives. Laws do.

At the Michigan Farm Bureau’s Washington Legislative Seminar, Senator Slotkin called food a national security issue but ignored the farm workers who make it possible.

No food security without farm worker security.

Call Senator Slotkin. Demand she support the Farm Workforce Modernization Act.

The opening of Michigan’s largest ICE detention center in Baldwin will enhance ongoing attacks on marginalized rural communities, where many farm workers live and work. This facility will deepen fear and silence entire immigrant communities that will be racially targeted.

Migrant farm workers in Michigan were trapped in debt and forced to work long hours, all under threat of deportation.

This is abuse. It’s happening now.

Call your elected officials to support the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, a critical step in ending the exploitation of farm workers.

📞Call Senator Slotkin today and demand she stand with farm workers. Tell her to stand up for the people who feed America - +1 (202) 759 - 4087!

On April 25, Senator Slotkin announced support for a bill that would cut and freeze farm worker pay. These essential workers are already underpaid and facing rising costs. Cutting their wages now is WRONG.

Farm workers face rising costs like the rest of us. Slashing their wages isn’t just unfair — it’s wrong.

We need Senator Slotkin to show real leadership and stand with the workers who feed America.

#StandWithFarmWorkers #FairWagesNow #ProtectEssentialWorkers

🚨 Farm workers’ wages are under attack & they need our voices now.

Senator Slotkin announced on April 25th in Frankenmuth, Michigan, her intended support for legislation that would cut & freeze the pay of the very people who feed us.

📞 Call Senator Slotkin & urge her to stand with farm workers.

PROTECT FARM WORKER WAGES! Tell Senator Slotkin that cutting farm worker wages is unacceptable! Sen. Slotkin +1 (202) 759-4087 Hi, my name is I live in [neighborhood/county], Michigan and I am a farm worker / support farm workers. I am beyond disappointed that Senator Slotkin wants to freeze the wages of farm workers, who are essential to Michigan's and the American economy. It is shameful that the Senator speaks out for auto workers and other workers while also working to cut the wages of farm workers. I believe farm workers are not paid enough. We/farm workers make sure that families across the U.S. have food on their tables. I'm demanding Senator Slotkin stand with farm workers and withdraw her support for this harmful wage cut. We need action now! UNITED FARM WORKERS ISI SE PUEDE UFW FOUNDATION CIVIC EMPOWERMENT COALITION

¡PROTEJA LOS SALARIOS DE LOS CAMPESINOS! ¡Dígale a la senadora Slotkin que recortar los salarios de los campesinos es inaceptable! Sen. Slotkin +1 (202) 759-4087 Hola, me llamo Vivo en [barrio/condado], Michigan, y soy campesino/a /apoyo a los campesinos. Estoy sumamente decepcionado/a de que la senadora Slotkin quiera congelar los salarios de los campesinos, quienes son esenciales para la economía de Michigan y de Estados Unidos. Es vergonzoso que la senadora defienda a los trabajadores de la industria automotriz y a otros trabajadores mientras, al mismo tiempo, trabaja para recortar los salarios de los campesinos. Creo que los campesinos no reciben suficiente salario. Nosotros/los campesinos, nos aseguramos de que las familias de todo Estados Unidos tengan comida en sus mesas. Exijo que la senadora Slotkin apoye a los campesinos y retire su apoyo a este perjudicial recorte salarial. ¡Necesitamos actuar ya!
