Facing Difficult Days, an Immigrant Baker Stands up for the Va...
Alejandro made bread at New York's Tom Cat Bakery for 10 years. In April of 2017—when Immigrations and Customs Enforcement performed an I-9 audit of the company—he was given 12 days to leave his job, without severance or support.
Since that day, Alejandro has joined other food industry workers in the city to organize for more humane treatment. For him and for others who have quietly built productive lives in the United States, the dream is simple: a future where their hard work is recognized as a contribution.
This is the 30th of 30 video stories on food and life in New York City by 1 Minute Meal. This story does not have any footage of Alejandro baking, because taking such footage would place undue stress and risk on him. Please appreciate this more direct glimpse into his perspective, and support his efforts by following Brandworkers.
Special thanks to Alejandro, Diana, Gabriel, other Alejandro, Angel, Ricardo, and Neil.
