"Joe" said this pic was from where he was pruning peach trees in Orosi, CA in December. "Temps were around 45° and the cold felt unbearable. I was climbing up and down a 8-foot ladder bundled up in my jacket and thick gloves. I did this work to feed my family." #WeFeedYou

"Juan" is pruning grape vines in Fresno County. "After we finish our row, we go back to pick up any branches and do a quick clean up. The branches for these grape vines are cut completely off as these are the ones that will be machine picked. We earn 24 cents/vine." #WeFeedYou

I just tried to phone in a book order to DreamHaven & spoke to Greg, he's swamped with orders (book people are THE BEST) but the website's still down. If you're local and web-savvy and available to work with them to address the shop's web woes, give them a call—they could use some help!
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
