Media Round-up:
The Fresh Market agreement makes some noise!
Given the pace of things in the Campaign for Fair
Food these days, the announcement earlier this month of the CIW’s agreement with
Fresh Market (the 13th agreement in the ever-expanding Fair Food Program) seems
almost like ancient history.
Much has happened in the two weeks since we broke
the news of the Fresh Market agreement, including the launch of the new Alliance
for Fair Food and the call to action for the big spring Parade and Concert for
Fair Food. But that doesn’t mean that the agreement, and its important new
provisions designed to reinforce the structural sustainability of the Fair Food
Program for years to come, escaped the notice of the media.
So, in the interest of not allowing all the great
coverage to fall through the cracks, we bring you the long-overdue media
round-up for the Fresh Market agreement! We begin with a story by our hometown
Ft. Myers News-Press (“Fresh Market, Coalition of Immokalee Workers join
forces,” 1/9/15). Here’s an excerpt:

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
