"The plants are beautiful, the dirt is beautiful." HAPPY EARTH DAY! Border Kindness has been honored to work alongside agricultural workers in the Imperial, Coachella and Mexicali Valley(s) since 2018. Coachella Fest is over for the year, but days of brutal work go on for the brave people who plant, grow, harvest and nurture the food so many of us eat. EARLY morning on Friday, April 10th, the festival's opening day our staff was with workers in the fields as the sun rose. We talked about the hype of Coachella, the earth, the pesticides (danger) and the daily brutality of trying to work, to live, to survive. One worker told us he focused on the plants, the dirt, the purity and BEAUTY of the plants and the dirt that can often be buried under the chemicals and cruelty. As the weather gets warmer those working need more assistance; safe clothing, water, sunscreen, hats, and more. Now that the noise and music have ended, If you would like to help the workers growing your food please share our posts, and donate as you are able! VENMO is
