Solidarity actions with Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) to end sweatshops

This October 27-28th, join us in standing with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) to end sweatshops and modern-day slavery in the fields!

The Student/Farmworker Alliance (SFA) calls for two days of widespread, decentralized protest actions to show McDonald's that Immokalee's workers are not alone in this fight.

In NYC we are organizing 2 days of actions

Friday October 27th 4:30 – 6pm at Union Square McDonalds at 17th and Broadway followed by a leaflet and post card signing at critical mass

Saturday October 28th 3pm – 4:30pm at Times Square McDonalds at 46th and Broadway

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.
