Workers Deserve Protections from Extreme Heat

As Florida's sun beats mercilessly, our outdoor workers—neighbors, friends, and family—are left to toil without reprieve. The Farmworker Association of Florida and its allies are championing the fight for heat safety protections. Yet, some in power would deny them even the most basic rights to water, shade, and rest.

These workers, many integral to our communities, face a stark reality: proposed legislation threatens to strip away their chance for humane working conditions. This isn't just an attack on workers—it's an assault on our values of economic justice and the workers' rights.

Sign On: Workers Deserve Protections from Extreme Heat.

We are at a crossroads. Miami-Dade County has taken steps towards enacting life-saving rules, but these efforts are under siege by state legislators pushing to prevent local governments from protecting their citizens. This bill is a clear example of prioritizing profits over the health and dignity of people.

We cannot allow this bill to pass, silencing the will of the communities who seek to guard the well-being of those who labor under the scorching sun.

Your support can shield them from the harsh conditions they currently endure and affirm our commitment to a society that cares for all its members.
