Series of vigils held for 38-year-old farm worker who died during the heat wave

Kristian Foden-Vencil Originally published on July 3, 2021 2:09 pm A series of three vigils were held around Oregon on Saturday in memory of Sebastian Francisco Perez, a 38-year-old farm worker who died during a June heat wave that brought temperatures above 115 in the Willamette Valley. Perez had been moving irrigation lines at Ernst Farms and Nursery in St. Paul when workers noticed he was missing. They found him unconscious and couldn’t revive him. Vigils were organized in Hermiston, St. Paul and Portland, outside the honorary Guatemalan Consulate. At the vigil in Portland, scores of people chanted his name and called for Oregon’s occupational safety agency, OSHA, to adopt emergency rules to deal with the heat.

HERMISTON — Farmworker advocates and community groups will host a vigil Saturday, July 3, in Hermiston, in honor of a Marion County farmworker who died while working through extreme heat in St. Paul last weekend and to discuss policies and regulations for protecting workers. The vigil will take place at 2 p.m. at the United Farmworkers office at 220 S.W. 11th St., Hermiston. The vigil is hosted by representatives of the United Farmworkers Foundation, Oregon Farmworker’s Union and Pineros Y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste, an organization dedicated to empowering farmworkers and Oregon’s Latinx families.
