CIW events

[Sarah Bryant]

The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a coalition working
for a fair wage for the workers of Immokalee, FL. Their tomatoes
supply chains such as McDonald's, Taco Bell and Burger King. Their
current campaign is to get a 1 penny increase per lb. of tomatoes
from Burger King.

Some other progressive groups on campus are working together with
the CIW next week and have a few events planned.

Tuesday October 2nd - CIW speakers will be at the CMC at 7:30(1021
Univeristy Ave).

Wednesday October 3rd - Protest at noon. Meet at the Plaza de
Americas, then march to Burger King.

There are tentative plans in the works to meet at my house on
Sunday before the protest to paint signs. It will probably be
Sunday night, and we'll have some snacks and music, so stay
tuned!
