Gabriel harvests oranges in Selma CA: I earn $24 per 900lb bin. The pay hasn't changed in 4-5 years. It doesn’t justify the hard, heavy work we do. We run back and forth and go up and down a 16-foot ladder quickly picking oranges in a bag that weighs 60lb when full. #WeFeedYou

Eduardo & Antonio are pruning grapevines in Madera CA. They just earn 5 cents a vine piece rate. They say it's impossible to make a living wage. To top it they have to pay for their gas which makes it even less money for them as they carpool round trip 100 miles. #WeFeedYou
