Final touches being put on Modern-Day Slavery Museum Northeast Tour!

Tour itinerary — including a visit to the home of Ahold’s US headquarters — now online…

If you live along the east coast anywhere from Charlottesville, VA, to Salem, MA, your chance to check out the CIW’s Modern-Day Slavery Museum is just around the corner!

Fresh from its exhibits at the US State Department (above) and the National Mall in Washington, DC, the museum, and the produce truck that is its centerpiece (below), will travel the northeastern states from July 25 to August 16th, raising awareness among consumers about the brutal exploitation behind the fruits and vegetables we eat and about the Campaign for Fair Food, the growing food justice campaign aimed at eliminating modern-day slavery once and for all by addressing the farm labor poverty and powerlessness that lie at its roots.

The Tour Itinerary — which will take the museum to the heart of supermarket giant Ahold’s US market (Ahold owns both Stop and Shop and Giant, two of the northeast’s biggest grocery chains, and has refused to partner with the CIW to improve farm labor conditions in its supply chain) — is online now. Check it out and see when the museum is coming to your neck of the woods!
