One of the CIW's mottos is that Consciousness + Commitment = Change. One important action you can do is create consciousness in your community about the conditions in the fields and the important changes being created through the CIW’s Campaign for Fair Food. You can screen a DVD about our struggle or distribute educational materials. To receive a DVD (which includes PBS's NOW, From Slavery to Freedom, and Ronaldo the Clown) and other organizing materials such as articles, fact sheets, postcards, stickers, please email us.
