Farm workers face more than 35 times the risk of heat-related death compared with workers in other industries. ☀️

According to research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the danger of extreme heat for agricultural workers is disproportionately high.

Extreme heat isn't simply uncomfortable for people spending full days working outdoors. It's a workplace hazard that can lead to serious illness, injury, and death.

Yet right now, H.R. 6213 could block progress toward federal heat protections by preventing the Department of Labor from finalizing or enforcing OSHA's proposed Heat Injury and Illness Prevention standard or a substantially similar rule.

Farm workers and other outdoor workers should not have to risk their lives to earn a living.

📣 Our partners at the United Farm Workers are asking people across the country to contact Congress and urge their representatives to oppose H.R. 6213.

It takes just a few minutes to add your voice.

👉 Take action today:

We’ll share the NIH and CDC research behind this statistic in the comments.

Theft is something that workers often suffer from, Due to housing not required to have locks. We were able to assist this worker in getting his police report and reapplying for SS card after this tragic incident. Please continue to support the work.

Bearing Witness is more than a vigil.
It is an opportunity to stand with farm workers and remind our communities that no one should lose their life simply for going to work.

Who might you invite?

A friend.
A coworker.
A congregation member.
A neighbor who cares about workers, public health, or food systems.

We hope you'll join us this Friday in Raleigh — and consider bringing someone with you.
