It's Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet week! We only adopt cats that are "less adoptable" due to FIV and I've known countless amazing cats at the shelter that were overlooked for too long due to age, medical issues, or behavioral challenges. Please consider the "less adoptables" if you can!
Adopt a Less Adoptable Pet Week! 🐱💙 Seniors, black cats, those with medical needs, and bonded pairs are often overlooked. They deserve love too. Adopt, share, or support your local shelter today! #AdoptALessAdoptablePetWeek

Texas farmers need more options when the rain stops coming.
Hemp can help farmers protect their soil and keep money coming in during drought.
Let Texas farmers decide what makes sense for their land, not politicians or corporate monopolies.

It's hot. After last month's historic heat wave, many CA temps will be in the 100's again. Remember the farm workers out harvesting the chilled snack you're enjoying. #WeFeedYou

Farmworkers represent the backbone of our food system. Yet, increasingly, ICE enforcement is wreaking havoc and spreading fear across our rural communities. This moment calls for solidarity, not silence.

Immigrants are more than hired hands in this country. They are our family. Our neighbors. Our community. Watch our webinar on ICE activity in farm country.

Farmworkers are struggling as temperatures rise, and not only due to heat stress. Extreme heat causes pesticides to evaporate faster, filling the air with dangerous chemicals. As workers sweat, their pores open, also increasing exposure through the skin.
