My grandfather worked in the fields 18 hours a day, but the most important thing he cultivated was unity. It’s a force so powerful it can lift a kid like me from a farmworker’s house to Speaker of the California State Assembly.

America’s farmworkers are experiencing a humanitarian crisis—facing a severe lack of dignified, affordable housing.

When communities fail to build the housing they need, those communities are not the only ones to suffer. Having lived in rural CA my entire life, it’s difficult to live through these impacts today—historic rates of traffic congestion, displacement, homlessness, affordability.

Thousands of farmworkers and farmers in our region and across California continue to work through this COVID-19 crisis - to ensure that we have food to feed our families. Words can not adequately express our gratitude. Thank you
@MarcosBreton
for sharing.
They never shelter in place. They often have no shelter at all. They work like this so we can eat. They feed us & we treat them terribly, from the state Capitol to the border & beyond. We should be ashamed of ourselves for how we treat those who feed us.

Yesterday, Kansas — one of the reddest states in the Union — overwhelmingly rejected restricting abortion access.
This is just the beginning. From west to east and north to south we are going to fight like hell to protect and expand reproductive health care across the country.
HUGE CONGRATUALTIONS to our colleagues in Kansas!
Protecting access to abortion is not only the right thing to do, it’s what voters (across the political spectrum) want.
The fight across the country for access to this essential health care continues!

We can do better. As the largest producer of agricultural products in the US, CA has a responsibility to step up and protect the essential role farmworkers have played throughout this crisis – and the role they must continue to play to ensure our nations food supply.
Recently passed federal legislation make farms with less than 50 or more than 500 workers exempt from requirements to provide paid sick leave, says Nicholson, VP of
@UFWupdates
.
"Neither of these exclusions make common sense when you're talking about protecting the food supply.”

One of the greatest of all time. His wife, daughters, the other victims, and the entire NBA family are in my prayers. This news brings me tremendous sadness.
I think at the end of our lives, we’ll be judge by how we treat those closest to us, particularly our children.
There’s no doubt that Kobe loved his children and was a loving father.
