00:04we go out early into the fields when it comes to harvesting okra it's a race
00:13against sunlight we go early so we're not working so much under the sun it gets
00:26really hot there are over half a million undocumented immigrants in Florida and it's
00:37home to many farm workers who have that as a job my family is from central Mexico we come
00:47from the state called Oaxaca where we live there weren't any jobs and because of that
00:56they came to the US like many immigrants chasing the so-called American dream but
01:03that's not what we found here
01:26my name is Kata Santiago Santiago my parents are undocumented my brother and I have DACA Deferred
01:35Action for Childhood Arrivals grants us a temporary work permit and temporary driver's license
01:44I'm a volunteer organizer for Movimiento Cosecha Cosecha is a new nonviolent popular movement geared
01:53towards obtaining permanent protection dignity and respect for our immigrants in this country
02:01my parents migrated to the US to give my brother and I a childhood they didn't have I would say
02:10that
02:11many immigrants that migrated to the US never imagined themselves living in fear
02:20police police open the door please
02:37buenos días mira aquí tiene una invitación a lo que es nuestra campaña de un días inmigrantes para
02:43demostrar lo que es nuestro verdadero poder en este país el plan de nosotros es paralizar el
02:49país por toda una semana pero todavía no estamos ahí para preparar estamos empezando con un día usando
02:55eso como una estrategia para obtener algo para los inmigrantes para poder ganar algo que es
03:01protección permanente papeles que no nos puedan quitar sabemos es que este país no puede funcionar
03:07y nosotros hay muchos trabajos que nosotros les ayudamos a hacerles la vida más fácil no
03:12movimiento cosecha no piensa esperar
03:14I decided to to devote all my time to activism because I don't have an option
03:23I feel that once this country sees the massive non-cooperation there will be leverage and through that leverage
03:32we will succeed and win
03:59Our role in Movimiento Cosecha is to grow the movement, that's our main priority.
04:28We do demonstrations to just grow the movement, and then phase two is to show that
04:36politicians won't give us what we need.
04:38For years, there has been the intent of trying to change politicians' hearts.
04:41At a national level, we haven't gotten anything.
04:44What we are gathered at the City Hall to do is basically show this country that it depends
04:50on migrant labor.
04:51This is what our true power is.
05:12We will bring hundreds of new people into our movement and just keep on growing.
05:24If I were to sit across from President Donald Trump, I would just have my hashtag, seven-day
05:32strike, because he's always on Twitter.
05:34And just for him to hint him that a seven-day strike is coming, and it will bring this
05:42country to its knees, and to having to recognize the importance of the labor of immigrants.
06:11We're trying to change the narrative, because right now the debate is whether or not we're
06:20needed.
06:25My parents, as farm workers, literally bring food to the table of hundreds of people.
06:33When you look at it at the national level, it's millions.
06:41Many anti-immigrant people say that they don't want our presence, but how about our absence?
06:48Many anti-immigrant people say that they don't want our presence.
07:07Many anti-immigrant people say that they don't want our presence.
07:09many anti-immigrant people say that they don't want our activity and yet do not like that.
