Fair Food Nation celebrates Labor Day in the streets of Miami with a dual Wendy’s/Publix protest! Vilmarie Cintrón-Olivieri, Co-moderator of the PC(USA) General Assembly on Labor Day: “We are here in solidarity walking alongside of you, boycotting, because we know it’s the right and just thing to do.

Bright and early, CIW farmworkers and their families loaded protest art, water and megaphones into three vans and headed east across Alligator Alley for the next leg of the Florida Summer of Action! The high-spirited action off of Biscayne Boulevard in Downtown Miami was led by the CIW, and bolstered by the presence of a diverse group of allies from across South Florida, including students from Florida International University and members of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and First United Methodist Church of Miami. After an hour of picketing in the blazing Miami heat, Fair Food delegations made up of farmworkers and local allies attempted to deliver letters to local Publix and Wendy’s managers...
