Hundreds of students, people of faith and community leaders in Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Philadelphia, New Brunswick and New York prepare to support student-led effort to boot Wendy’s off campuses this fall…
Last week, farmworker leaders of the CIW and student organizers with the Student/Farmworker Alliance wrapped up a two-week journey through six major cities along the East Coast, drawing to a close the first leg of the summer series of “Boot the Braids” Truth Tours. With a full schedule of meetings and presentations with students, religious leaders, community-based organizations and city council members, the team of Fair Food organizers engaged a newly-energized base of hundreds of consumer allies, ready to mobilize around the Wendy’s Boycott in communities from Charlotte, North Carolina, to New York City.
To give you a taste of the tour and the team’s time on the road, we are happy to share a report from the Fair Food organizers themselves. Enjoy, and check back soon for news from the second leg of this summer’s big, countrywide Boot the Braids Truth Tour:
