"WeCount’s [Planting Justice] campaign is heavily inspired by the Fair Food Program, which farmworkers have successfully used for years to boost their labor conditions and is considered the highest standard of labor protections for farmworkers in the U.S."

The Fair Food Program’s unparalleled heat protections keep making waves across the nation! Read more here: ciw-online.org/2026/08/fair...
The background is a photo of an on-the-clock, worker-to-worker education session that trains farmworkers on the Fair Food Program's protections, including its heat stress standards. A woman wearing olive green and grey speaks into a microphone in front of a seated crowd of people wearing hats, neck gaiters, and other protective work clothes.  Large, white text on top of the image says: "The Fair Food Program’s new, first-of-its-kind heat rule is making national headlines" in italics. Below is a thin, white diving line and smaller, white text that says: "FFP farms are now required to provide electrolytes to farmworkers year-round" in italics. At the bottom are the Fair Food Program and Coalition of Immokalee Workers logos.From top to bottom, there is: the logo of a newspaper called "La Jornada"; a thin, black dividing line; a quote translated into English in bold, black text that says, “The CIW announced that it is strengthening measures to protect tens of thousands of farmworkers in 23 states across the United States through its Fair Food program, in a country where more than 500 workers die each year as a result of the heat.“; and the Fair Food Program and Coalition of Immokalee Workers logos.From top to bottom, there is: the logo of a newspaper called "The Packer"; a thin, black dividing line; a quote in bold, black text that says, "By pairing electrolyte access with shade and rest, the upgraded rules give agricultural workers critical defense against chronic heat-related health risks“; and the Fair Food Program and Coalition of Immokalee Workers logos.From top to bottom, there is: the logo of a newspaper called "The Florida Trib | State News. Local Impact"; a thin, black dividing line; a quote in bold, black text that says, “We think the model pioneered by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers is capable of doing what government can’t do right now, which is guaranteeing life-saving protections for workers.” — Oscar Londoño, co-executive director of WeCount!; and the Fair Food Program and Coalition of Immokalee Workers logos.

The Fair Food Program’s new electrolyte rule is making national headlines and the @fastcompany.com says the program is a “Win-Win-Win for Farmworkers, Growers, Buyers"! ciw-online.org/2026/08/fair...
The Fast Company logo above a headline reading "Farmworkers across 22 states will get free access to electrolytes to combat dangerous heat stress". Below are the logos of the Fair Food Program and the Coalition of Immokalee Workers as well as a photo of farmworkers taking a break to rest and hydrate under a shade structure.Atop of the silhouettes of two farmworkers reading their "Know Your Rights and Responsibilities under the Fair Food Program" booklet, reads:

“When a heat wave hits, farmworkers are among the most vulnerable: they’re 35 times as likely to die from heat-related stress as workers in any other industry...

There are no federal standards to protect outdoor workers, including those on farms, from heat.
 
The Fair Food Program, however, has its own set of heat protections... Now it’s added a rule, which took effect August 1, requiring participating growers to provide electrolyte beverages or supplements to workers year-round.”

The Fast Company logo sits below this quote and above the silhouettes.Atop of a photo of a farmworkers sitting underneath a shade structure in the rising sun reads:

A Win-Win-Win for Farmworkers, Growers, Buyers

“Such protections, including the new rule about electrolytes, help workers stay safe and healthy in the heat. They also benefit both growers and buyers.

‘If workers are healthier, then their employers are not having as many workers’ compensation claims, they are not losing production time by people becoming ill or sidelined and recuperating from serious symptoms,’ [FFSC Co-executive director Judge] Safer Espinoza says.”

Below this quote from the article, is the Fast Company logo. At the bottom, on top of the main subject of the background photo, is an image of the quoted woman to the right of her name (Laura Safer Espinoza) and position (Fair Food Program Senior Advisor and Founding Executive Director of the Fair Food Standards Council).

With each successful forced labor prosecution, the same conclusion only grows stronger: We cannot prosecute our way out of modern slavery. We must prevent it. ciw-online.org/2026/08/the-...
A photo submitted to the court by federal prosecutors as evidence in the ongoing “Blooming Onion” prosecution shows a shrine to the Santa Muerte found in the home of Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr., a farm labor contractor convicted of Conspiracy to Engage in Forced Labor and sentenced to 30 years in prison earlier this year. La Santa Muerte, or the “Angel of Death”, the skeletal figure located in the middle of the photo and shown here holding a scythe, is known to be widely celebrated by violent narco-traffickers in Mexico.
