ALL KINDS OF LOVE FOR McDONALD’S ON VALENTINES DAY FROM THE CAMPAIGN FOR FAIR FOOD!

Here’s a round-up of the latest news as Fair-Food activists around the country ramp-up for the actions in Chicago this April:

That means you!… From New York to Minnesota, people are organizing to join workers from Immokalee in Chicago for what is sure to be an historic two days of protest. See all the latest on the plans and tools for mobilization, including how you can hook up with transportation to Chicago, here!

Zack confirms!!… Yes, you heard it here first. Zack de la Rocha, best known as the lead singer and lyricist for one of the most politically-charged bands in American music history, Rage Against the Machine, is going to be there with the CIW in Chicago.

The two days of action are shaping up to be a cultural celebration of justice, with artists representing every musical style from the New Orleans brass band tradition to Cuban hip-hop. Stay tuned as the line-up continues to build!

How can they be Happy Meals if the people who make them aren’t happy?… Kids across the country are starting to ask why such a nice company like McDonald’s is treating the workers who pick its tomatoes so poorly. You can read one recent letter to McDonald’s from a young girl in Louisville, Kentucky — a truly beautiful piece of sincere, thoughtful, and kind writing that would make any parent’s heart swell with pride — by clicking here.
