Celebrity Supermarket Action!… Late last year, world-renowned Dutch composer Louis Andriessen, left, and Dutch-American violinist Monica Germino delivered the Campaign for Fair Food letter directly to supermarket giant Ahold headquarters in Amsterdam. Ahold owns the Giant and Stop and Shop brands here in the US, and Fair Food activists can keep the pressure on by delivering the manager’s letter to their local Giant and Stop and Shop stores this week.

… while the Supermarket Week of Action is already upon us!

As we gear up for this April’s Farmworker Freedom March — and the Florida Modern-Day Slavery Museum continues its historic journey across the state — allies across the country are already two days into the national Supermarket Week of Action in the Campaign for Fair Food.

You too can get involved by dropping a Campaign for Fair Food letter off to the store manager of your local major supermarket chain!

It’s easy to do: Simply download the manager letter here. Then deliver the letter to the manager of your local grocery store and ask the manager to share your concerns with the company’s corporate headquarters.

And if you are interested in joining a picket outside of a supermarket that is already being planned, or organizing one on your own, please contact us for more info. Pickets are taking place in the New York City, Boston, Washington DC, Baltimore, and San Francisco Bay areas.

This spring season, take action for Fair Food where you shop by urging Stop & Shop, Giant, Publix, Ralph’s, Kroger and other Kroger-owned grocery chains to address the sub-poverty wages and human rights abuses faced by farmworkers who harvest their tomatoes.

And meanwhile, don’t forget the huge Farmworker Freedom March coming up this April 16-18th! Check out the march website for everything you need to join us for the three-day march, including key logistics and registration information easy to find on the march site. See you in Tampa!
