Updates: Human
rights crisis in Mexico and “Food Chains” release countdown
begins…
“Enough! Mexico Is
Ready to Explode”…
Two weeks ago we brought you an
extended analysis of the human rights crisis in Mexico and its impact on the
agricultural industry there. In a post entitled “Fear and Fair Cannot Coexist,”
we wrote:
Today, another dispatch from
Mexico, entitled “Enough! Mexico is Ready to Explode” tells of the continued
growth of popular pressure for an end to the decade-long nightmare of drug- and
corruption-fueled violence. [...]
[...]
Countdown to the big national of “Food Chains” begins!
Meanwhile, back here in Florida — where
the Fair Food Program has helped bring about a human rights revolution in the
$650 million tomato industry, transforming it from “ground zero for modern day
slavery” to the “best working environment in American agriculture” — an
important date is rapidly approaching.
“Food Chains”, the film that documents the history
of the CIW’s struggle to modernize Florida’s tomato industry, is set to be
released in just thee short weeks, and the final stages of planning for the big
release are underway!

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
