"Last year, the U.S. government spent more than a billion dollars to help prevent the abuse of people working overseas. Unfortunately, next to nothing was spent to help prevent the mistreatment of people working on our farms at home. The numbers don't add up. Especially when you consider that the people in these photographs are the ones putting food on our plates. How is this possible? While there are federal and state laws protecting farm laborers, they're rarely, if ever enforced. As a result, workers are treated like cattle and have no choice but to accept it. But that doesn't mean you have to. To find out more, please visit www.ufw.org. And help us stop what's really growing on farms in our country."

"Physical abuse. Poor living conditions. Sexual harassment. It seems history does repeat itself. Immigrants today, as they did over two hundred years ago, suffer at the hands of politicians who have not interest in providing citizenship and enforcing labor laws on their behalf. After all, immigrant's aren't really citizens. Plus, enforcing labor laws could cost the government and growers millions of dollars. So rather than suffer financial loss, laws are blatantly ignored and rampant violations against the people who work to feed us continue. If you agree that these things shouldn't happen in this seemingly great country of ours, or would like more information, please visit www.ufw.org. Because America isn't known as home of the free for some."

"They say vegetables are good for you. But for the migrant workers toiling under brutal conditions, often for less than minimum wage, they're less than healthy. Consider for a moment that these people contribute to ore than 10% of California's economic success. Their compensation? $8,000 a year. Hardly enough for fresh drinking water and regular meals. Much less soap and blankets. In fact, often to purchase these necessities, children are forced to work the same hours under the same conditions as their parents. Sadly, while you're filling your mouth with the fruits of their labor, theirs are being stifled with threats of violence and immigration raids.
