Reimagining solidarity with strawberry farmworkers in the United States

Abstract: Shortly after finishing Dvera I. Saxton’s The Devil’s Fruit: Farmworkers, Health, and Environ­mental Justice, I awoke to the rare occurrence of farmworkers making national headlines. H.R. 1603, the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021—providing a path to citizenship for undocumented agricultural workers—had just passed the U.S. House of Representatives (for the second time).

“…Broadly, material hardships have not been uniform across time and space during the ongoing public health crisis. A growing body of empirical research shows that some groups have experienced significant burden while others have not, just as some regions, states, and cities have experienced wide disparities in food shortage and food insecurity while others have not [ 4 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. For example, early in the pandemic, racial and ethnic minorities, persons experiencing unemployment, those who are younger, and families with children reported significant upticks in food and housing insecurity [ 8 , 11 , 18 ].…”

“…A growing body of empirical research shows that some groups have experienced significant burden while others have not, just as some regions, states, and cities have experienced wide disparities in food shortage and food insecurity while others have not [ 4 , 18 , 19 , 20 ]. For example, early in the pandemic, racial and ethnic minorities, persons experiencing unemployment, those who are younger, and families with children reported significant upticks in food and housing insecurity [ 8 , 11 , 18 ]. Many households that were already struggling to meet basic needs prior to COVID-19 encountered additional barriers that exacerbated or pushed them into food insecurity [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ].…”

“…Researchers have also used the real-time, ZIP-Code level food-related calls to 211 as a proxy for food insecurity [ 12 15 ] as food insecurity estimates are only available at the national and state level and are reported annually, while 211 can report ZIP Code-level data daily. However, the validity of this proxy measure has not been evaluated and this limitation has been documented in the literature [ 13 , 16 ]. Moreover, the information seeking behavior and the content of these calls are largely unknown.…”
