Tell Congress: Stop Seasonal Immigrant Slavery

America’s food is harvested by human beings trapped in a system of abuse. 

Under the H-2A visa program, farmworkers are bound to their employers like property—forced into dangerous jobs, unsafe housing, and silenced by the threat of deportation. It’s modern-day slavery, and it’s happening in our fields right now.

The evidence is overwhelming. Investigations and lawsuits in Michigan and Connecticut show the same abuses repeated nationwide: wage theft, overcrowded and unsafe housing, heat exposure, and threats of retaliation. It’s a system designed to keep workers silent while corporations profit, and Congress must act now.

Tell Congress: “End modern-day slavery in American agriculture. Pass real reforms to H-2A visas and stop abuse of immigrant workers.”

The House and Senate Judiciary Committees, along with Agriculture and HELP Committees, have the power to hold hearings and rewrite the rules. Workers need the freedom to leave abusive employers without fear, enforceable safety standards to prevent heat deaths, real housing inspections, and whistleblower protections with teeth. Anything less leaves human rights trampled in our fields.

With Republicans pushing anti-immigrant crackdowns and mass deportations, the threat of even deeper exploitation is growing by the day. Delay means more workers trapped in fear, more lives at risk, and more blood on Congress’s hands.

Your voice is the pressure Congress cannot ignore. Every signature forces lawmakers to choose: side with Big Ag’s lobbyists or with the workers who put food on America’s tables.

Tell Congress: Stop seasonal immigrant slavery. Hold hearings. Pass reforms. End the abuse. Sign today and demand dignity, freedom, and justice for the people who feed this nation.

The petition to Congress reads: “End modern-day slavery in American agriculture. Pass real reforms to H-2A visas and stop abuse of immigrant workers.”
