Slow Food DFW

Call to action! Read on! ☮️

As farmers, we witness the hands that sustain our food system. Farm workers—66% of them being immigrants—carry the heaviest, most essential labor on our farms. Their work is the very foundation on which everything else rests. Farm workers continue to face low pay, limited protections, inadequate housing, and the constant threat of harassment or retaliation. As immigration enforcement spreads, fear becomes part of the workday. It is wielded to control the hands and hearts that feed this country. We reject the idea that immigrant farm workers are replaceable or disposable. Farming does not exist apart from the people who do the work. The health of our farms, our communities, and our food system are bound together. When workers are forced to live and labor in fear, the entire system is harmed. We demand a food system where everyone who contributes to it can live with dignity and security. That future depends on recognizing our shared stake - and taking collective action to bring it into being. Action Steps and Resources: Sharing a few trusted resources and groups doing powerful work around immigrant justice and ICE response in our region and beyond. For folks in the Capital District, follow @518crsc for updates, resources, and ways to get connected locally. In the Hudson Valley and NY region, we also uplift Columbia County Sanctuary Movement, local ICE watch groups (including Kingston), and organizing efforts like For The Many. Getting plugged into local organizing—even 1–2 hours a week—can make a real difference and strengthen our collective capacity. If you have trusted resources or groups to share, drop them in the comments so we can build collective knowledge together.
