Tell Burger King to take a stand for Fair Food!… With the official onset of summer just days away, two new Action Alerts are sure to heighten pressure on the world’s second-largest burger chain to clean up labor abuse in its tomato supply chain. Please take a few minutes today to make sure your voice is heard at Burger King’s Miami headquarters as part of the growing nationwide movement for human rights in Florida’s fields.

First, send an email to Burger King’s executives to tell them, "Farmworkers deserve a fair wage," courtesy of our allies at Sojourners. And while you’re on the Sojourners’ website, don’t miss this great analysis on the recent conclusion of the McDonald’s campaign by Sarah Osmer of Interfaith Action, "Florida farmworkers make peace with McDonald’s."

Second, as part of last week’s blog entry, "Tomato workers need your support in Burger King campaign," the AFL-CIO has created an easy-to-use form to fax to Burger King’s CEO John Chidsey. Simply print the form, sign your name, and fax it to Mr. Chidsey. Everything you need — including Burger King’s fax number — is included on the one-page PDF form.

And finally, don’t forget to contact us for brand new Burger King postcards to use for education and action in your community this summer!
