Action Alert: Call Chipotle today!

From our friends at American Rights @ Work:

“Since we first launched our campaign, more than 10,000 activists [editor’s note: the number is actually 15,000 as of today!] have urged Chipotle to stand up for exploited Florida farmworkers. People around the country have been calling on Chipotle to live up to its “food with integrity” promise — and now they’ve taken their demands to the streets, protesting in front of film screenings sponsored by Chipotle.

Can you support the efforts of these demonstrators by making a quick toll-free call to Chipotle’s corporate headquarters? Just follow these easy steps:

1. Call Chipotle toll-free at 1-888-899-0017.

2. Tell the person who picks up that you want Chipotle to live up to its “food with integrity” promise by standing up for Florida farmworkers. You can also add:

* The Florida workers who pick Chipotle’s tomatoes have one of the worst jobs in America, with sub-poverty wages, back-breaking labor, and unimaginable exploitation.

* It’s time for Chipotle to join in a formal agreement with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers — a widely respected farmworker organization and a leader in the field of human rights.

* Partnering with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers will ensure the workers who pick Chipotle’s tomatoes are treated fairly and paid a living wage.

3. IMPORTANT: After you call, click here and tell us how it went.

So call Chipotle today, it’s a quick, easy, and important way to tell them you care about the human rights of the workers who pick their tomatoes. And check back soon for news from Denver, the home of Chipotle’s corporate headquarters, as members of the Denver Fair Food Committee prepare to hand deliver the 15,000 signatures to company executives in the coming days!
