Take Action!

1Supermarket Week of Action (Nov. 14-21) starts one week from Sunday.

Tell your local grocer it’s time to give thanks to
the farmworkers whose poverty has driven their profits for years!

Video extra: Check out the great new Quiznos protest video, where the Denver Fair Food crew calls on Quiznos to sign an agreement “Glee”-style…

With Halloween behind us, Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and with it comes the supermarket industry’s busiest time of the year. What better time to let your local grocer know that you are one of the growing number of consumers and farmworkers — and Florida tomato growers — working together to bring about a fairer, more humane produce industry?

Our friends at the Student/Farmworker Alliance are spearheading this year’s Supermarket Week of Action, and they have kindly assembled everything you could possibly need to take action — however big or small — this November, including this impressive action tool kit.

So, visit the SFA website today, get together with your friends and neighbors, and be part of the action this November. Whether you simply drop off a manager’s letter and chat with your local grocer, or you organize a picket and really make some noise, every action counts, and helps us keep building the momentum behind the Campaign for Fair Food.

And don’t forget to take pictures! Once the week is over, we’ll be posting reports from around the country, and we want to highlight your action here.

We’ve never been closer to making our dream of a more modern, more humane Florida tomato industry a reality. Now more than ever, your action counts. But if you’re still not convinced that now is the time for action, check out this Supermarket Campaign video and then decide. A picture is worth a thousand words, even more so when those pictures are moving.

And speaking of exciting videos… We leave you today with the much-anticipated, remarkably-choreographed, wonderfully produced and edited “Quit Stalling, Quiznos” video, courtesy of Denver Fair Food. So, with no further ado, here it is — enjoy!:
