“Tour de Fair Food” rocks
Wendy’s in Denver! Denver Fair Food does it again with another wildly creative protest, this time demanding that Wendy’s stop stalling and join the Fair Food Program…
Last week the streets of Denver were filled with
ponytailed, red-haired bikers on a circuit ride for justice, as members of the
city’s incredible Denver Fair Food crew toured Wendy’s restaurants in downtown
Denver and called for the hamburger giant to stop standing in the way of
progress and do its part to end farmworker exploitation by joining the CIW’s
Fair Food Program:
Creativity has long been a hallmark of the Campaign
for Fair Food, from the dirty-laundry-march through Yum’s hometown of
Louisville, KY, to the walk-ten-miles-in-a-farmworker’s-shoes-march on Burger
King’s headquarters in Miami, but never before has there been a “Tour de Fair
Food” like that organized in Denver last week. Not only did the participants
put their protest on wheels, but they also put some serious work into the art
that they deployed at every stop along the tour route...

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
