Farm Worker Hydration Packet Fundraiser. July 11th - 21st in partnership with El Futuro Es Nuestro.
NC farm workers have no state or federal laws protecting them from severe heat, and they are often forced to work in the fields during heatwaves when some of us spend all day in the A/C. Farm owners threaten workers with the revocation of visas or, if workers are undocumented, deportation. One way we can protect farm workers is by donating hydration powder packets, which can be put in water bottles and stave off heat sickness and dehydration.
All one-time donations to UU Justice NC made from now until Sunday, July 21st will go towards purchasing hydration packets for North Carolina farm workers. And UU Justice NC will match up to $500 for this effort.
