Please join the Pulitzer Center on Wednesday, March 24, at 2:00pm EDT for a discussion about COVID-19's effects on agriculture workers with reporters Kyle Bagenstose, Sky Chadde, and Rachel Axon from the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting and USA TODAY Network. Joining the conversation are food historian Roger Horowitz and League of United Latin American Citizens National President Domingo Garcia.

Bagenstose, Chadde, and Axon’s Pulitzer Center-supported project, COVID-19, Agriculture Workers and Our Food System, examines COVID-19's impact on underpaid and exploited agricultural workers, particularly those in the meatpacking industry and the migrant workers in the fields.
