-please forward-

Come to Chicago – now more than ever! Zack de la Rocha and Tom Morello to play together on April 14th!


Campaign surges forward with Burger King in its sights!


Today at The Carter Center in Atlanta, the CIW and McDonald's announced a landmark agreement to work together to improve the wages and working conditions of the farmworkers who pick Florida tomatoes. After two years of escalating pressure by the CIW and its allies, McDonald's has agreed to all of the CIW's demands and more.


The incredible victory demonstrates once again the effectiveness and clout of the alliance between Florida's farmworkers and students and youth throughout the U.S.


Building off the tremendous momentum, the Campaign for Fair Food now surges ahead at full speed – this time towards Miami-based Burger King. 


This weekend's mobilization in Chicago – where Tom Morello and Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine have just confirmed they will perform together – takes on new significance. Join the CIW, SFA and thousands of allies in Chicago as we take the fight for fair food to exciting new heights!


Check the CIW and SFA sites for analysis and continuing updates on this historic victory and the latest logistical information for this weekend in Chicago.


In solidarity,
Student/Farmworker Alliance
