CAFF is heartbroken by escalating ICE raids across California targeting our farms, homes, schools, community centers, and places of work. These tactics, growing more militarized by the day, are tearing at the fabric of California and threatening our national food system by sowing fear, anger, and confusion within agricultural communities. CAFF stands in firm opposition to violations of our constitutional rights and the stigmatization of essential workers and entrepreneurs. Immigrants are the foundation of California’s food economy, but beyond this, they make our communities stronger. CAFF is grateful for those standing with us in opposition.
