Watch out,
Wendy’s! #BootTheBraids “Food Chains” tour hits the road…
Students throughout the Midwest, Northeast
readying to Boot the Braids!
Hot on the heels of an exciting first month of the new year for the Fair Food Program (January began with the announcement of the newest Fair Food Agreement and ended with the CIW receiving a presidential medal for its efforts to combat modern-day slavery), the Campaign for Fair Food is hitting the ground running this February! Earlier this week, the Student/Farmworker Alliance launched a tour across the Midwest and Northeast to call out Wendy’s, the final fast food hold out, for refusing to join the Fair Food Program. And the Immokalee crew won’t be doing it alone. They will be joined by committed student allies from across the country in sending Wendy’s a ringing message: The burger chain is welcome on campus only if they respect the farmworkers who harvest their tomatoes... |
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
