Let the sun shine! The Fair Food spirit brings the sun out with joyful action in Asheville, NC… Now is the Time Tour met with warm welcome in Western North Carolina! After a heartwarming (if bitterly cold) stay in North Carolina’s Triangle Area, the CIW headed west yesterday to gather for a protest at the site of a future Publix in Asheville, North Carolina — a first for the Campaign for Fair Food, a Publix protest without an actual Publix (note the add-on at the bottom of the real estate sign below)!… But we’ve faced tougher challenges before (like launching a national Campaign for Fair Food in 2001 when no one in the world had even heard of Fair Food before, for example…), so we were undaunted as we made our way west. And indeed our faith in the Fair Food Nation was well-placed, because as the bus rolled up to the site of the future Publix, what would we see but over 50 students and community members already gathered there awaiting our arrival in the parking lot... Don't miss the full photo update from Asheville -- and not one, but two videos from the Now is the Time Tour over at the CIW website!
