THOUSANDS COME OUT IN IMMOKALEE FOR CIW’S 2007

"YEAR OF THE WORKER" PARTY!

This year’s "Año del Trabajador" celebration at the CIW headquarters was bigger than ever, a fitting turnout for the ramp up to the biggest Truth Tour yet!

More than 3,000 people came together for a day of music, laughter, and reflection on the contradiction between the tremendous wealth created by Immokalee’s labor, on the one hand, and the grinding poverty to which Immokalee is condemned by companies like McDonald’s, on the other.

Now, while that may not sound like a party to you, it was in Immokalee, because for the first time in a long time there is hope and a way out of the poverty that has plagued Immokalee for decades. And the McDonald’s Truth Tour this April is the next step on that road. Click here to see pictures and a report from the party!
