Lost in
the flood: Two great stories on the FFP get left behind in deluge of big
news…
With all the recent news surrounding the Clinton
Global Citizen Award and the fast-approaching release of “Food Chains,” some
stories just get lost in the flood. However, two such stories from recent days
were too good leave behind forever, so we thought we’d take advantage of this
brief break in the action to reach back a couple of weeks and share them with
you today.
First up is a beautifully written reflection by the
Editor of the Sarasota Magazine that brought you last month’s must-read
article, “Fairness in the Fields: A Sarasota Organization Brings Hope and
Justice to Florida’s Tomato Fields”. The Editor’s piece is part of her monthly
“From the Editor” series, previewing what the reader will find in the monthly’s
latest edition and adding her thoughts on the topic at hand. This time she
chose to focus on the story chronicling the Fair Food Program, and her thoughts
are well worth reading. Her column begins:

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
