Here’s some of the very latest news from the campaign — and be sure to stay tuned for more breaking news in the days ahead as momentum is really beginning to build for the November 30th March on Burger King headquarters!
 Members of the Miami area’s “JustFaith” movement gathered at CIW headquarters in Immokalee recently to see farmworker conditions first-hand.JustFaith began fifteen years ago in Louisville, KY, and is dedicated to “the Gospel message of peace and justice, Catholic social teaching and the intersection of spirituality and action.” Many Miami area JustFaith members will be with CIW members in Miami this November 30th as we march on BK’s headquarters, calling for a fast-food industry that respects human rights, not exploits human beings. |
New Endorsements!
From the Miami area, United Teachers of Dade and St. Maurice Catholic Church in Dania Beach have formally endorsed the campaign. And from New York, Wayne Action for Racial Equality (WARE) and the Light Box Theater Company have joined the growing list of endorsers nationwide! |
 Meanwhile, also in Louisville (must be a pretty cool place, huh?), the city’s oldest health food store, Rainbow Blossom, has committed to buying and selling only tomatoes which are produced in sweat-free conditions, and dropping all Ag-Mart tomato products, replacing them with small family farm brands.Here, Marc Fulkerson (RB’s produce buyer and an enthusiastic supporter) and Summer Auerbach (VP of Operations) hold up a sign that reads: “Rainbow Blossom supports the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and the Campaign for Fair Food with sweatshop-free tomatoes!“ |
Several new endorsements of the Campaign for Fair Food have come in since our last update, including two from New York and two from right here in Burger King’s backyard.
