Presented by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and Methodist Federation for Social Action (MFSA).
Throughout the history of American agriculture, those who work the land have been vulnerable to abuse and injustice. It was these conditions that led farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida, to begin organizing their community in the hopes of a positive change in their industry. Will you stand with farmworkers as they continue to advocate for fair treatment at work, fair wages, and an end to persistent issues like violence, sexual harassment, and modern-day slavery?
Join us on September 9th at 1pm ET to learn about the history of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Campaign for Fair Food, and the Fair Food Program (FFP). Faith leaders and their congregations have always been an important part of the Fair Food movement and there are still many ways to support the CIW and the FFP. Tune in to find out more!
