This Labor Day, let’s celebrate the essential role of immigrants in agriculture—not only as workers, but as neighbors, leaders, and vital members of our farming communities. From planting seeds to building businesses, immigrants nourish both our fields and our communities.
We’re inviting farmers, agricultural advocates, food lovers, and community members to join this participatory video campaign and lift up authentic voices from across our food system. Together, we’ll create a mosaic of stories that honors the human contributions that make agriculture thrive.
