The CIW – a grassroots organization of mostly Latino, Haitian, and Mayan Indian low-wage immigrant workers based in Southwest Florida – won its four-year boycott of Taco Bell in 2005. Now the CIW and its allies are organizing to extend these precedent setting gains throughout the rest of the fast-food industry. Over the last year, however, McDonald's has consistently responded to the dire human rights crisis in the fields as a mere public relations crisis, threatening to roll back the advances the CIW has won through years of struggle.

This October 27-28th, join students and young people across the country in standing with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to end sweatshops and modern-day slavery in the fields!
