Does someone have access to Sage Journal? I need an article. It is regarding Human Trafficking (labour trafficking, specifically).

Dolores Huerta
“Dia de la Madre honors the nurturing of all humanity.”
This mother and her son look over the valley in rural Oregon where they make their home. Contrary to our recent history, it’s unclear if they have a future anywhere in America.
The BC Society for Policy Solutions (BCSPS) has released a report on the working conditions faced by South Asian women farmworkers in British Columbia.

For decades, South Asian immigrant farmworker women have faced exploitative practices like wage theft, lack of access to clean washrooms and excessive and unpredictable hours. This report seeks to address these issues via policy reform.
"Factory farming is the biggest source of human caused animal cruelty in history. At any one time, there are over 112 billion farmed animals. The vast majority, 99% in the US for example, live in terrible conditions of suffering on factory farms. Despite this, just 3% of all donations given to help animals go to farmed animals."
"Support charities helping millions of farmed animals each year."

Today in Labor History April 23, 1910: IWW farmhands went on strike in Yamhill, Oregon, when some were fired for teaching and talking about Industrial Unionism. The workers were demanding a 30-cents per hour raise and a decent bunk house. Farmers tried unsuccessfully to hire strike breakers and started slandering the strikers' wives. Fellow IWW members from Portland helped bring supplies and sabotaged some of the farmers' trees.
