My name is José Luis. I am from Zacatecas, Mexico. For over 27 years, I worked as a butcher for a few meat companies in Chicago. I enjoyed my work, especially designing the various cuts of meat. Buyers would come to me and leave well satisfied, which made me proud of my work. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to work hard and provide for my family. The Humans Who Feed Us project is an encouraging reminder to individuals working to support the food supply chain that you are not alone. There are many people and organizations that support you.

Me llamo José Luis y soy de Zacatecas, México. Durante más de 27 años trabajé como carnicero para varias empresas en Chicago. Siempre me gustó mucho mi trabajo, especialmente diseñar los distintos cortes de carne. Algo que me llenaba de orgullo era ver a los clientes marcharse satisfechos con lo que nos compraban. Estoy agradecido por haber tenido la oportunidad de trabajar duro y mantener a mi familia. El proyecto "The Humans Who Feed Us" es un recordatorio alentador para quienes trabajan en la cadena de suministro de alimentos: no están solos. Hay muchas personas y organizaciones que los apoyan.
Many migrant women workers, including farmworkers, face workplace conditions that worsen mental health, such as harassment in the workplace, wage theft and lack of paid family leave. People who migrate for work, such as those employed in agriculture, face a variety of challenges with accessing mental health care. Join Justice for Migrant Women as we call on our elected leaders to expand access to mental health resources for all people employed in agriculture.
