Tomas Terraza, farmworker, Homestead ( Palm Beach Post ): “It’s about justice. We’re fighting for our basic rights in the fields, in construction, in roofing, in many different jobs”…
Rev. Kim Robles, Miami Shores Presbyterian Church (Palm Beach Post) : “We’re coming because we believe that Jesus was one that always stood with the oppressed and marginalized and it’s our call to do the same,” she said. “I would like to see the entire industry change so we don’t have any more abuses in the fields.”
Archbishop Thomas Wenski (NBC-5): “Of course, farmworkers are essential workers… They give an honest day’s work, they want an honest day’s pay, and they want to be treated with respect and dignity.”
Saturday’s massive march through downtown Palm Beach continues to reverberate across the state, from the bougainvillea-lined lanes of the posh billionaire enclave itself, to the dusty streets of farmworker communities on both coasts. It was the first big Campaign for Fair Food action in over two years, and it did not disappoint!
As promised, we have been working on an update since the march wrapped up late Saturday, complete with a video of the day’s many highlights, a beautiful photo gallery capturing the color and energy of an unforgettable event, and a media round-up, with excerpts and links to still more videos and photos from the march. Up first is the video, which comes in a little longer than our usual short at just over 4 minutes, but is well worth the extra time! Enjoy:
