In the summer of 2020, SAF interns partnered with farmworkers in North Carolina and South Carolina to hear their stories of what they’re facing in the pandemic, how they’re coping and advocating for themselves and others, and how they’re carrying forward hope in their essential work.
Here are some of their stories.
Rain or shine, we go to work because we have to provide food for the country.
Distance is very hard because transportation to work and back is done using the bus. Our job doesn’t let us maintain distance because we are really close to each other in the field depending on what we have to do that day.
