"Ricki Ruiz grew up the son of two farmworkers, and he remembers his family’s struggles vividly.
'We almost faced eviction five times because we didn’t have enough money for rent,” said Ruiz, a first-term Democrat. “We didn’t go to the grocery store; we went to the food bank. We didn’t have extra clothes.'
Ruiz hopes to change that situation for farmworkers in Oregon. He sponsored a bill that will mandate that farmworkers be paid overtime for any work beyond 40 hours a week."

The purpose of going to the college: to be exposed to certain movements. And also to meet a guy. Who is oddly very feminist.
