Giving Tuesday: We need you to join farmworkers in making all food Fair Food by donating TODAY!
The holiday season is upon us, and in the long stretch of festivities from Thanksgiving to New Years, a special day has slowly risen on the calendar in recent years to claim its own significance, a small glow in the bright firmament of holiday cheer, but a star nonetheless! Today is Giving Tuesday, the day millions of people across the country set aside as a reminder to donate to their favorite charities, giving whatever they can to build stronger communities and a better, more just society. For the women and men in America’s fields, the proven, powerful program best equipped to do just that is, unequivocally, the Fair Food Program.
For nearly twenty years, consumer allies have fought with love and determination alongside farmworkers and their families to uproot abuse and exploitation from America’s fields. Through countless delegations to Immokalee, presentations in schools and churches from coast to coast, and high-spirited actions, we have built an unstoppable force for change, winning powerful agreements with once-untouchable corporate giants. And through those agreements, we have built the Fair Food Program, ushering in an unprecedented era of rights, respect, and dignity for farmworkers.
But we can’t stop there. Today, we are launching a brand-new video from the Alliance for Fair Food to celebrate that vibrant, joyful, and enduring relationship between farmworkers and allies. Even as we celebrate the victories already won, we look ahead to the hard work and triumphs that are still to come – and we can’t get there without you. Please donate to the Fair Food movement this Giving Tuesday, and share the call widely! Here’s an easy way to get the word out, for all of your social media networks:
