🚨 New The Real News 🚨 Farmworkers in Florida today began a 5-day march against slave conditions & to compel companies like Wendy’s/Kroger to stop sourcing produce from abusive growers. I spoke w/ Lupe Gonzalo, a longtime farmworker & organizer for Coalition of Immokalee Workers therealnews.com/farmworkers-in…

Hey Nelson Peltz, why are you allowing the possibility of modern day slavery in the Wendy’s supply chain when you could easily join the @fairfoodprogram, and treat farmworkers with dignity and respect? @CIW #PalmBeach

This morning I joined the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and allies to deliver Resolution 131 to Trian Partners, the largest shareholder of Wendy’s. Yesterday the @nyccouncil took steps in the fight for workers rights and now it’s time for corporations like Wendy’s to do the same.

Here’s last night’s story about working conditions on farms. And, just for the record, John Oliver and Jamie Oliver are two different people. We’re talking about food this week, so just wanted to make it clear. youtu.be/41vETgarh_8

.John Oliver has some *very choice words* for Wendy’s Kroger and Publix, which “amazingly have yet to sign on” to the Fair Food Program

On #LastWeekTonight, John Oliver was impressed with Fair Food Program buyers and growers operating on the cutting edge of human rights... “which is more than I can say for Wendy’s Kroger and Publix who AMAZINGLY have yet to sign on."

SHUT IT DOWN! Unionized staff at SEIU are sticking together in the fight for wages that keep up with the cost of living. It’s high time companies live their values but Mary Kay Henry’s management chose to lock their doors.

Pay equity isn’t the only thing on the dais today @CouncilofDC. Insufficient language access is too. Roughly half of today's hearing attendees are Spanish-speaking and language accommodations are nonexistent. Language access in #childcare is critical for racial justice. #Under3DC

Many people ask, “Can Trump legally do that?” A better, more urgent response is: “Will we let Trump do that?” says Nick Wertsch of Demos. commondreams.org/opinion/federa…
