As we all experience this heat wave, I want to thank our hardworking farm workers who continue to work in the fields in record-breaking heat. I hope our farmers and ag companies are going above and beyond what's required by law and doing *everything* they can to provide hydration and shade in the fields so that workers are protected. Their lives depend on it. Stay healthy everyone and give thanks to the farm workers putting food on your table. Photo: @CalMatters

The #climatebond holds the key to a resilient food system. By investing in our food system, we can address #climatechange, protect our #farmers and #farmworkers, and combat #foodinsecurity. ResilientFoodSystem.org. #CALeg #ClimateBond
🌡️ Farmworkers are on the front line of climate change. @SenMikeMcGuire @Senator_Hurtado @SenMariaEDurazo @MoniqueLimonCA @anna4thevalley @BenAllenCA @SenStevePadilla it's crucial to include support for them in the #climatebond. #CALeg #FoodandFarmClimateBond ResilientFoodSystem.org
Funding Farmworker Resource Centers and the Farmworker Component of the Low-Income Weatherization Program needs to be part of the #climatebond! These programs provide essential support to CA’s farmworkers facing climate change impacts! #SenMikeMcgure #CALeg #FoodandFarmClimateBond
⏳ The clock is ticking! @ilike_mike @MoniqueLimonCA @SenMariaEDurazo as we near the climate bond deadline, remember the vital role farmworkers play in our food system! Their health and safety are central to California agriculture. #CALeg #ClimateBond
Thank you, @AsmLoriDWilson, for championing AB 408 and advocating for investments in a resilient, healthy, and just food system in the #climatebond. Your dedication and influence over the past two years is truly appreciated! #CALeg #FoodandFarmClimateBond ResilientFoodSystem.org

CA leaders, including @GavinNewsom, must work toward a healthy and climate-resilient food supply chain that will reduce fossil fuel + other emissions, ensure farmworkers have safe working conditions, and give access to fresh food throughout of the state. on.nrdc.org/3Xu6VpD

We just dropped a new #FlippingTheTable! It's all about how California rice growers are modeling the future of agriculture. Take a listen. loom.ly/Km_Zgyg

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of César Chávez, civil rights activist and labor leader who revolutionized the rights of migrant farm workers in the US. Let’s honor his legacy by continuing to work toward justice and equality for all people. #CesarChavezDay
Look forward to working with Asm Soria and our Speaker on continuing agriculture's move to improve the lives of farmworkers, to capture carbon, conserve water and protect species. We have real momentum and it must continue.
