From Washington State to Washington DC, the Fair Food Nation ramps up for CIW’s major mobilization in NYC... PHOTO REPORT: National Day of Action turns up the heat on Wendy’s with 20 actions in 14 states! From Washington State to Washington DC, the Fair Food Nation ramps up for CIW’s major mobilization in NYC on November 18 with nearly two dozen Wendy’s Boycott demonstrations! On October 28th, the Fair Food Nation came together for a huge National Day of Action in the Wendy’s Boycott! In nearly two dozen actions in 14 states, students, community allies, and faith-based groups took to the streets, from Washington State to Rhode Island and South Florida. These local acts of solidarity, which included vibrant marches, pickets, banner drops, teach-ins, and letter delegations, set the stage for the CIW’s big Wendy’s Boycott march on Nov. 18 in NYC, calling on Wendy’s to stop hiding from its responsibility and join the Fair Food Program to help protect farmworkers against sexual assault and forced labor. Today, we bring you just a few of the exciting highlights from the Student/Farmworker Alliance’s photo report from the Day of Action. And if it leaves you feeling inspired, then make sure to head over to the NYC action page and find out how YOU can join hundreds of farmworkers and allies in the streets of New York on November 18th! MIAMI, FL Dozens of farmworkers from Immokalee and their children, students, and South Florida allies kicked off the National Day of Action early on Saturday with a lively 150-person march! The march made its way to a local Wendy’s on Calle Ocho, where the crowd packed the sidewalk, bringing Wendy’s disdain for farmworkers’ rights to the attention of hundreds of Miami residents. Over six Florida universities were represented during the vibrant action as students from Barry University, St. Thomas University, Miami Dade College, the University of Miami, Florida Gulf Coast University and the University of South Florida came together to denounce how Wendy’s spends millions on advertising to youth while actively denying farmworkers in its supply chain a voice in addressing labor violations...
