"Speakers and poets at Saturday's rally shared testimonials from farmworkers that included people being injured on the job, not having access to clean water to drink while working, and being sexually harassed and at times assaulted while working on farms.

Rayes-Chávez, who lives in Immokalee, said the Fair Food Program allows workers the right to complain about working conditions without fear of retaliation, the right to be parts of health and safety committees and frequent assessments of working conditions.

'We need to work free of abuses that include modern-day slavery. That is a serial killer as well as sexual assault and child labor. We need zero tolerance,' he said."
