3/ Standing with workers and demanding justice has been at the heart of Kerry’s work for decades. As we enter Kerry’s final months as our President, we’ll be looking back at the people and places that have shaped her extraordinary legacy.

2/ This was one of many times Kerry has stood alongside farmworkers. She has marched with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers in Florida, rallied for farmworkers’ rights in New York, and helped build support for the New York Farmworkers Fair Labor Practices Act, which became law in 2019.

"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."
