The people, united, will never be defeated--and they will have a *crazy* good time....

Fair Foodistas,

*Join us on Saturday for a night of music, art, food and fun to benefit two wonderful organizations in NYC.*

What: Benefit to support the Starbucks Workers Union and Fair Food NYC

The Starbucks Workers Union has been working tirelessly to organize underpaid, overworked folks against the trendy coffee monster, Starbucks. Starbucks is using everything in its power to fight the organizing attempts and these workers are sticking their badass necks out anyway and could use some solidarity.

Fair Food NYC organizes with the Coalition Of Immokalee Workers, a group of outta hand farmworkers in southern Florida who are changing the way companies view farmworkers in their supply chains and are, one by one, demanding that mega corporations like Taco Bell and McDonalds own up to their responsibilities and pay them what they deserve.

When: Saturday March 24th
2 o'clock: Art Making
We'll be making posters, banners, puppets, and creative signage for upcoming actions--come lend a hand!
4 o'clock: BBQ ($5/plate)
