UFW I AM ESSENTIAL MASK

Masks bearing the slogan “I Am Essential #WeFeedYou” were designed by Justin Watkins, Project Manager of the United Farm Workers’ (UFW) Marketing Department. He was motivated to create PPE that protected farmworkers, while acknowledging their roles as essential workers. The mask features the UFW eagle logo, a symbol which has come to represent the struggle for representation and the achievements of Latinx communities.
