As Hurricane Helene gathers strength in the Gulf on its way to becoming Hurricane Helene later this week, we have had to make the difficult decision to scale back our upcoming action in Cincinnati. Weather permitting, our two-day action will now be a one-day Rally for Farmworkers’ Rights: Join us outside of Kroger Headquarters (9 E Court St, Cincinnati, OH 45202) this Saturday at 1pm as farmworkers and consumers come together to call on Kroger to join the Fair Food Program and help us end forced labor in the fields!
Together, we have have brought hope to farms across the US. But we need your help to bring Kroger into the Program in order to help grow the FFP even further. If you can’t make it out to the rally, we have five other exciting ways you can contribute to the cause for farmworker human rights! Check the list below, and email [email protected] if you have any questions.
1. Join us in Cincinnati
Come out in person to Kroger Headquarters (9 E Court St, Cincinnati, OH 45202) this Saturday, Sep 28 at 1pm to celebrate the FFP alongside farmworkers and other allies, and call on Kroger to join the Presidential Medal-winning program!
2. Call Kroger
Dial 1-800-576-4377
To speak with a service representative, press 8 then 3 after listening to the menu options. Once they are on the line, let them know that it’s time for Kroger to join the Fair Food Program! We have a suggested script here, which you can read to the representative.
3. Start a live chat with Kroger and copy/paste script
Click “Launch Live Chat” at https://www.kroger.com/hc/help/contact-us
You can skip the menu options by typing “speak to human” into the chat until the automated service connects you with an agent. You do not have to provide your name or email address. You can press “skip” on all options about which department and issue you wish to direct your chat. Kroger’s automated service will then connect you with a live agent. You may have to wait a few minutes before connecting with one, but keep the tab open and stay online! Once you are connected to someone, simply share the Fair Food Nation’s message into the chat! You can stay online to respond to the agent, or you can simply exit the tab.
4. Email Kroger
Send an email to [email protected] with the suggested Title: “It’s time for Kroger to join the Fair Food Program” and include your message for the body of the email. We have a suggested script, which you can copy/paste into the body of the email.
You can also fill out this quick form, which will automatically email Kroger’s customer service and Kroger executives as well with the script.
5. Share our Instagram posts and tag Kroger! @krogerco
You can also comment on Kroger’s posts on Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly known as Twitter), and LinkedIn demanding they join the Fair Food Program!
6. Deliver a letter to your local Kroger demanding they join the Fair Food Program
If you shop at, or live near, a Kroger store, you can print out the CIW’s letter and hand it to the manager of that store. Want a digital version? You can also request a copy to be mailed to you from us by emailing [email protected] with the subject line “Requesting Kroger letter.” You can deliver it to any of the following locations: Kroger, Baker’s, City Market, Copps, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Foods Co, Fred Meyer, Fry’s, Gerbes, Harris Teeter, Jay C Food Store, King Soopers, Mariano’s, Metro Market, Pay-Less Super Markets, Pick ’n Save, Owen’s, QFC, Ralphs, Roundy’s, Ruler, and Smith’s Food and Drug.
