We'll be kicking off the Miami-Dade Fair Food Campaign to ask Publix to fight against human rights' violations in Florida this Thursday morning when an interfaith delegation led by the Social & Economic Justice Committee of the National Association of Social Workers joins SFIWJ staff and interns to meet with the manager of a Hialeah Publix. The agricultural fields of South Florida harbor some of the most horrendous worker rights' abuses in modern day history and we hope that Publix will extend its corporate responsibility to human rights responsibility so that fair food is brought to our families' dinner tables.
Want to take a delegation to your local Publix? Just let us know and we'll send you materials & help you locate allies.

Alas, we needed to reschedule this particular delegation due to a conflict with the schedule of some of the UMC participants, but we hope to reschedule very soon. Again, let us know if you're interested in a delegation from your church going to a nearby Publix. It's a great way to be hands-on in a quick local action.
