We Won! We're Still Going!
McDonalds signs agreement with CIW!
Hola Fair Foodistas,
WE WON!
We are extremely excited to announce that McDonalds has indeed signed an agreement stating that they will work with the CIW to meet all three demands! A press release and message from the SFA are below. Now more than ever it's important to mobilize in Chicago to show McDonalds that we've still got our eyes on them, and to tell Burger King and the rest of the fast food industry "You're Next!"
Two buses full of New Yorkers will be travelling to Chicago this weekend to show our support for the CIW in this historic moment of grassroots organizing. The CIW will also be announcing the next target this weekend so whether you're in Chicago physically, spiritually or cyberly, stay tuned to the next phase in what is proving to be a monumental campaign.
Love,
Fair Food NYC
* Campaign surges forward with Burger King in its sights!*
Today at The Carter Center in Atlanta, the CIW and McDonald's announced a landmark agreement to work together to improve the wages and working conditions of the farmworkers who pick Florida tomatoes. After two years of escalating pressure by the CIW and its allies, McDonald's has agreed to all of the CIW's demands and more
.
The incredible victory demonstrates once again the effectiveness and clout of the alliance between Florida's farmworkers and students and youth throughout the U.S.
Building off the tremendous momentum, the Campaign for Fair Food now surges ahead at full speed – this time towards Miami-based Burger King.
This weekend's mobilization in Chicago – where Tom Morello and Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine have just confirmed they will perform together – takes on new significance. Join the CIW, SFA and thousands of allies in Chicago as we take the fight for fair food to exciting new heights!
Check the and SFA sites for analysis and continuing updates on this historic victory and the latest logistical information for this weekend in Chicago.
In solidarity,
Student/Farmworker Alliance
