Procession to Publix Headquarters

12 Noon

gather at Publix, 3636 Harden Blvd, Lakeland

Farmworkers will lead a solemn, three-mile procession from the Harden Blvd location to the fast site (Publix Headquarters), evoking traditions of peaceful nonviolent action in the United States and recounting the unique, nearly two-decade history of the CIW and the Campaign for Fair Food through large displays as part of a vivid, living timeline.

Ceremony to End the Fast

Publix Corporate Headquarters,
3300 Publix Corporate Pkwy, Lakeland, FL (Airport Rd. entrance)

Join farmworkers, Kerry Kennedy (President, RFK Center for Justice & Human Rights), Reverend Michael Livingston (former president of the National Council of Churches and current director of the NCC's Poverty Initiative), José José (widely regarded one of the most important Latin American singers of the late 20th century), clergy, students, and consumers from Lakeland, across Florida and beyond for a demonstrative procession and ceremony to cap off a 6-day fast insisting that Publix – Florida's largest corporation – finally recognize the humanity of the workers who pick its tomatoes and join the CIW’s Fair Food Program.
