The United Farm Workers union is calling for a boycott of mushrooms from the Windmill Farms plant in Sunnyside, Yakima County, its first boycott in nearly 20 years. Workers are seeking the community’s support in their efforts to form a union, said Gabriela López, a member of the workers’ committee, during a gathering Wednesday night. Officials with Windmill Farms did not comment on the boycott. The union’s last boycott was E. & J. Gallo Winery in California in 2005, UFW organizer Roman Pinal said. The union called on consumers to look out for mushrooms produced in Sunnyside and sold in Washington, Oregon and Alaska.

Amber Lyon, 3-time Emmy award winning journalist, describes how her work as a journalist covering social justice issues lead to her suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and how experience with Ayahuasca cured her of the disorder and led to a radical spiritual and career shift. “I’ve never taken the traditional route in my journalism,” says Lyon “I spent a decade on the street covering some of the worst humanity has to offer whether it be war, slavery, drug trafficking, and I realized after a certain amount of time that I was just covering the symptoms of the greater problem which is our collective madness. We need healing at the individual level before anything is going to change when it comes to all of the destruction that we are seeing in this world. (…) I’ve decided that for the rest of my career I am going to attack the core which is this collective Insanity and collective need for healing; whether that is physical healing or healing when it comes to mental health disorders.
