2012 Northeast Tour to launch this week… Stop & Shop, Giant, and Chipotle on the hotseat!

Tour to return to Northeast cities of epic
2011 Do the Right Thing Tour

The Campaign for Fair Food is returning to familiar ground this week, as workers from Immokalee and their allies from student and faith communities head north up I-95 to the great cities of the Northeast — with stops in Washington and Philadelphia, New York, and Boston — to keep the heat on supermarket chains Stop & Shop and Giant and food movement darling Chipotle for their refusal to partner with farmworkers and support the CIW’s Fair Food Program.

The 2012 Tour will be returning to the scene of some of the most exciting actions of last year’s Do the Right Thing Tour, including the incredible march on Stop & Shop of nearly 1,000 Boston area Fair Food activists in freezing temperatures and snow (pictured above).

The action starts this Thursday, April 12, so be sure to check in as the launch of the Tour approaches, and to check out the details for the dates, times, places and contact people for all the key actions here! If you’re in the Northeast and are reading this, you are not going to want to miss the 2012 Tour!
