California Rural Legal Assistance and other organizations are doing substantial work to fight what's in "Harvest of Shame," including monitoring water and shade where government enforcement agencies don't.

April 3rd: "California Rural Legal Assistance along with the Law Offices of Michael Freund have reached a settlement worth $135,000 for ten farm workers who filed a lawsuit against a Central Valley orchard owner after they were exposed to pesticide drift. While working in an adjacent field, the farm workers were exposed to a dangerous pesticide by the neighboring orchard owner that caused symptoms including vomiting, nausea, skin irritation and difficulty breathing."
