The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) is a worker-led human rights organization internationally recognized for its achievements in the fields of social responsibility, human trafficking, and gender-based violence at work. The CIW's membership is comprised primarily of farmworkers who labor in the tomato fields in Immokalee, Florida.
The CIW has called a boycott against Wendy's for their continued disregard of farmworkers' human rights. Unlike all the other major fast food companies, Wendy's refuses to join the CIW's Fair Food Program, which increases farmworkers' wages and improves workplace safety.
We are excited to invite you to learn from and take action with CIW members!
On Saturday, October 22, CIW members will be speaking at two Boston synagogues:
- 12 noon at Temple Hillel B'nai Torah, 120 Corey St, West Roxbury
-
4-5:30 PM at Nehar Shalom Community Synagogue, 43 Lochstead Ave, Jamaica Plain
On Sunday, October 23, join CIW members and their supporters for a Boycott Wendy's rally:
- 2-3:30PM at the Downtown Crossing Wendy's, (71 Summer St, Boston)
