First-ever Fair Food protest in Chattanooga, TN, “a proud day to be part of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.”
Last week, Silvia Perez of the CIW delivered the keynote address at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church’s Women’s Ministry Convention in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The Women’s Ministry, as part of its “Step Out” initiative committed to putting faith into action, is focused on farmworker justice this year, and Silvia’s speech took up the theme, framing the Campaign for Fair Food itself as an act of faith — faith in the workers’ vision of justice that would someday become a reality through the committed partnership of farmworkers and allies of faith around the country.
“We encourage Publix to be part of the solution to Florida’s longstanding history of farmworker exploitation — the Fair Food Program. We are asking you to join us as we STEP OUT in support of the farmworkers who harvest the foods that we enjoy each day. In the coming year, Cumberland Presbyterian Women’s Ministry will be living out our current theme to STEP OUT and share the love and grace of God made real in Jesus Christ. We believe that Jesus would most certainly STEP OUT with us in this effort. Please won’t you step out and join us at the table?”
