This past weekend, CIW and Interfaith Action members visited several Publix stores in Southwest Florida to take their message of fair wages and human rights directly to local managers. CIW members explained to the managers the conditions they endure daily in the fields, including sub-poverty wages that have not risen significantly in over thirty years, as well as the rash of modern-day slavery cases that arise from these conditions. The managers listened intently, some even reading the entire letter on the spot.

Visit the Interfaith Action site for a full report on the weekend’s visits, and while you’re there, download a copy or two of the letter and drop it off at your own local Publix!
