This earth day, let’s take a moment to consider those whose livelihoods are inextricably tied to the growing covid and climate crisises. Farm workers are on the invisible front-line, ensuring that our grocers continue to be able to stock the foods we use in our recipes and put on our tables. Farm work is skilled, grueling, and underpaid labor. Many of the workers are migrants and undocumented, and despite the fact that they pay taxes on their income, they are ineligible for many of the basic services that are seeing us through this crisis.
If you have any money to spare, please consider making a donation to Hispanics in Philanthropy and their partner Justice for Migrant Women to support the Farmworkers’ COVID-19 Pandemic Relief Fund, which will provide immediate financial assistance and much-needed protective equipment to workers around the nation.
