Tabling Tuesday for Farmworker Justice

The UK SSU will be tabling on the first floor of the UK Student Center on Tuesday (11/27), from 10am to 2pm. We'll be near the Student Government office.

Please stop by to sign a letter to the management of Kroger. We are collecting signatures asking Kroger to agree to pay one cent more per pound of tomatoes, as part of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers' campaign for a living wage and better conditions for Florida farmworkers.

Please contact me, standinsolidarity@yahoo.com, if you'd like to help table.

Here is the letter to Kroger we'll be gathering signatures on: http://www.ciw-online.org/Resources/supermarkets/manager%20letters/kroger.pdf.
More information about the Coalition of Immokalee Workers: www.ciw-online.org.

Before the end of the semester, we'll get a group together to deliver letters and petition signatures in person to the management of the Euclid Avenue Kroger, one of the busiest Kroger grocery stores in the nation. As always, stay tuned for updates.
