Farmworkers Face Heightened Food Insecurity Amid Pandemic

The video highlights the struggles of farm workers in the US, who earn low incomes and often lack access to government aid due to undocumented status. Many live in food deserts, and their challenges have worsened with the COVID-19 pandemic. Monica Ramirez, founder of Justice for Migrant Women, has launched the Farmworkers Pandemic Relief Fund to provide essential supplies to these workers. The fund aims to distribute $3 million to at least 15 organizations, including Called To Serve Farmworkers and RCMA, which directly support farm worker families. These efforts aim to alleviate the hardships faced by these essential workers.
