Email Action Alert! Tell Publix what you think about their "Not in our house" approach to social responsibility...

"We don’t like anybody coming into our house telling us how to do business."
That was Publix Communication Director Maria Brous's response to a reporter who asked whether Publix gets involved in the Fair Trade market. And while the answer was in response to a question about Fair Trade coffee and bananas, it sure sounded like it was aimed squarely at the Campaign for Fair Food.
Well, now you can march straight into Publix's house and tell them exactly how you want them to do business!
Click here to send Publix CEO Ed Crenshaw an email to express your "support for the Farmworker Freedom March and to urge Publix to work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), an internationally recognized farmworker organization, to address the sub-poverty wages and abuses faced by the farmworkers who pick Publix’s tomatoes."
For everyone who can't join us for next week's march,
this is a great way to be counted and make your voice heard in the
growing chorus demanding Fair Food. And for all of you who will
be there this April 16-18... let Publix know you're coming! Send
your email to Publix CEO Ed Crenshaw today!
Finally, be sure to visit the SFA site (http://sfalliance.org) today for must-see news + audio and video from the Modern-Day Slavery Museum, the Publix campaign, and the Aramark victory.
And if you will be joining us next week, please take a moment to register yourself and your group -- it'll help ensure we provide enough sleeping space, food and water for everyone.
See you in Tampa!
