Tilth Alliance, you chose to side with corporate agriculture, without even taking a moment to reach out to Farmworker leadership.
Your hypocrisy in standing against Farmworker Justice at this moment, is a heart felt blow and has not gone unnoticed.

To all eaters in WA - organic sustainable farming at the expense of the wellbeing of farmworkers and their families in your communities does not help build a Just Food System. SB6045 will either go to a vote tomorrow, or die on the floor. Letters like this tip the balance toward injustice.

Members of the Tilth Alliance, our lives as Farmworkers cannot wait for you. Your leadership is betraying the very values you claim.

Is the unique context the fact that our agricultural systems have always been built on slavery, extraction and exploitation? The right of farm operators to make their livelihood at the expense of the very people who keep their operations running?

Executive Director Melissa Spear, in your letter asking Senator Saldaña to vote against the rights of Farmworkers to organize for better working conditions, you speak to the “unique context” of agricultural work.
8/
Members of the Tilth Alliance, when will you choose to act out your values? Or are they just words?
7/
You even go so far as to name in your top 5 priorities “act to dismantle systems encountered through our work that perpetuate inequities and/or serve to exclude or marginalize historically oppressed populations.”
6/
Tilth Alliance claims to be working for an “equitable food future”. Repeatedly on your values page, talking about “respecting diverse voices”, and making choices to “address historic inequities”.
5/
Members of the Tilth Alliance, when will the well-being of farmworkers hold equal weight as the farm operators?
4/
Members of the Tilth Alliance, your leadership has chosen to side with corporate industrial ag & systemic oppression- choosing to act against the possibility of ending structural racism in the food system & correcting a racist policy. And so we ask you;
3/
Today, the Executive Director of Tilth Alliance submitted a letter to Senator Saldaña in opposition to SB 6045: Collective Bargaining Rights for Farmworkers. In it, they outline the difficult economic conditions farm operators, citing ‘potential ag viability’ impacts if the bill is passed.
