Thanksgiving is quick approaching, and I have much to be thankful for. At the top of my list is the experience I am having down here, with Pace, the Guadalupe Center, After-School Program, my community, and the work I've been able to be apart of to ally with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers.
During this time, we prepare to come together with family to enjoy a meal, in which we will stuff ourselves until we can eat no more, watch football, and fall asleep...
Let us not forget those who do the work (growing, planting, picking, harvesting), so that our stomach's may be filled. Let us not forget our farm workers.
Please take the time to click this link, view this video, and sign the petition for Publix (a grocery chain in SW Florida) to sit down with the farmworkers of Immokalee, and sign on to Fair Food.
Publix has been resisting this for years, it's about time they come to the table.
