Step Up the Publix Picket with Nashville Fair Food!
Publix Super Market At Hill Center At Belle Meade
4324 Harding Pike, Nashville, Tennessee 37205-2202
Saturday, July 14, 2012
12pm - 2pm
Join us again this month to show Publix that we won't back down until they do the right thing and end abuses in the tomato fields by agreeing to the Fair Food Program's code of conduct!
The Coalition of Immokalee Workers is a coalition of thousands of migrant Latino, Maya, and Haitian tomato pickers that harvest the fresh tomatoes we eat in Tennessee during the winter. They have been calling on Publix to join the Fair Food program for 3 years now, but Publix's response is: "If there are atrocities going on, it's not our business."
It's time for Publix to stop letting a bigger profit stand in the way of doing the right thing - join us to remind them that we won't let our friendly neighborhood grocers stand in the way of justice in the tomato fields!
Nashville Fair Food is launching a Summer of Justice in solidarity with Florida tomato pickers, as part of the larger Campaign for Fair Food, in a strategic market where Publix is expanding, and where we can make an enormous difference in pressuring Publix to support Fair Food agreements that are already revolutionizing Florida agriculture. If you can't make it, stay tuned for more pickets in August!
