Even as the tomato harvest ends in Immokalee and the academic semester draws to a close for student allies, the Fair Food Nation is anything but winding down. Far from it: farmworkers and allies have their eyes trained on victory in the Wendy’s Boycott, and have lined up a jam-packed schedule of big summer protests and national calls to action. With pressure continuing to mount following the spring’s Freedom Fast and Time’s Up Wendy’s March, Wendy’s will be hard-pressed to ignore the Fair Food Nation’s clarion call for real, worker-driven social responsibility.
Indeed, allies around the country are marshaling their networks to pen hundreds of letters to Wendy’s headquarters while also mobilizing to show up in-person to the annual shareholder meeting in Dublin, OH on June 5. If you’re ready to join in the actions planned for the shareholder meeting, make sure to check out our call to action!
Today, we bring you a report from the very first hot and sunny summer protest of the season in Sarasota, Florida. Last Sunday, dozens of farmworker men, women, and children hopped into vans to journey to the beautiful gulf coast community two short hours north of Immokalee that has, for many years, been a veritable Fair Food stronghold.
