PACK YOUR BAGS, WE’RE HEADING TO CHICAGO!

Final preparations are underway in Immokalee and across the country as the 2007 McDonald’s Truth Tour is set to hit the road…

In Minnesota, CIW member and 2003 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award Laureate Romeo Ramirez addressed community, student, and labor gatherings as the Twin Cities gear up to send a delegation to Chicago. Read a story from one of those meetings here.

In Oregon, the Portland chapter of Jobs with Justice sent word that they voted to become the latest endorser of the Alliance for Fair Food… and promised to join us in Chicago!

Meanwhile, in the Windy City suburb of Oak Park, near McD’s Oak Brook headquarters, some local Fair Food activists got their protest on — and did a little last-minute outreach for the upcoming two days of action — with a warm-up action at a local McDonald’s (pictured here on the right). Multiply that by several thousand and you’ll get an idea of the two days of action this April 13th and 14th! Click here to see how you can get on the bus in your commnunity to be there for all the action. See you soon!
