Friend --

I wanted to make sure you saw the news that I'm calling on Governor Newsom to prioritize Central Valley farmworkers for COVID-19 testing.

I’ve worked in the agricultural businesses for years here in the Central Valley. I can tell you from firsthand experience that the men and women who feed this country are highly vulnerable to COVID-19. It’s a contagious virus, and the work involved around farming demands close quarters conditions.

Friend, our national security depends on our frontline and farmworkers. State and federal governments have deemed them essential -- the least we can do is give them the protections they need to do their jobs safely.

Will you add your name to my letter calling for frontline and farmworkers to be prioritized for COVID-19 testing?

One of the most important tools we have to combat this pandemic is testing.

Failure to act means risking the possibility of this virus devastating our rural health system — inhibiting our long term ability to keep essential workers safe during this crisis.

Sign on: Join my push to give farm and frontline workers priority access to COVID-19 testing.

All my very best,

TJ
