“'Throughout this public health crisis, there has not been a day when farmworkers have stopped showing up to work. Their work ethic and commitment keep food in our grocery stores and fill America’s tables. As you know, farmworkers have been deemed essential during this public health crisis, and, as such, they have been asked to continue working. Although they help feed the nation, the mean and median income of a farmworker family are $20,000 and $24,999, respectively. Despite their low-wages, many won’t be able to receive the direct cash assistance headed to millions of U.S. households. Many of these essential workers lack critical benefits,' the Members wrote."
