CIW - Boycott the Bell

WHO WE ARE

1995 General Strike
Immokalee, Florida

The CIW is today spear-heading the Taco Bell boycott. But before we launched the national boycott in April of 2001, we had been organizing locally for many years in an effort to modernize labor relations in Florida's fields, improve wages and working conditions for our members, and eliminate modern-day slavery.

To learn more about the history of the Coalition, you can go to the CIW site where you'll find all the non-Taco Bell info on the Coalition from 1995 to 2001, including past CIW campaigns, Press Archives, Photo Galleries, and more!

The annual School of the Americas protest is so big, colorful, reflective, yet full of life and art that we are not going to give these photos our regular treatment, with captions and explanations. Rather, we are going to let them speak for themselves, so enjoy...

For this one, though, we will mention that this is Max Perez of the CIW addressing the rally following the procession with an inspired speech urging us to keep fighting so that "next year we will not gather here to mourn the thousands killed at the hand of SOA graduates, but to celebrate the end of the SOA and of beginning of a US foreign policy that respects human rights."
