Is a commemorative vase dedicated to all essential farm workers. My mom was a farm worker for many, many years. It was hard work labor under the grueling hot Imperial Valley sun. I praise all farm workers, I praise my mom. I’m forever grateful for all their hard work, their courage, and dedication to provide the highest quality of food to the tables of millions of families. Farm workers are critically important and need our protection. We need to respect this valuable workforce, As they work through a pandemic remaining underpaid, in poor sanitation, and dangerous conditions exposing them to high risk. Our farm workers, communities, and people of color are highly affected by COVID-19.
