Nearly 600 workers, allies come together on final day of March to Build a New World to celebrate decade of human rights progress, call on Wendy’s, Kroger, and Publix to do their part to help end modern-day slavery and other outrageous abuses in agricultural industry, here and abroad!
Student: “What you have done, and what you will do, is just the beginning of a better and brighter future for us all. Justice is incredibly hard to achieve and to maintain, yet it is not impossible. You have proven that, and will continue to do so.”
The March to Build a New World is over, following a raucous, joyous, 2-mile trek through the tree-lined streets of Palm Beach on its 5th and final day.
We will have a full report tomorrow from Day 5, with a great new video, dozens and dozens of amazing photos, and all the media from a beautiful day for food justice and human rights.
For now, here below is a quick peek at a baker’s dozen of photos from yesterday, followed by messages from several students who sent solidarity wishes to the marchers that capture — better even than any of the incredible footage and images from the 5-day, 50-mile march — the marchers’ fight for freedom, justice, and respect for fundamental human rights for all who toil in the fields to put food on our tables every day.
Thanks for all your support for an unforgettable 5 days, and come back again tomorrow for the full report from the March to Build a New World!
