COME HEAR FLORIDA TOMATO PICKERS
SPEAK OUT

Coalition of Immokalee Workers Speak Out
Wednesday, December 10, 7:30 P.M.
The Church of the Holy Trinity
316 E. 88th Street, between First & Second Avenues

THEY will speak about working conditions in the fields and their campaigns to get fast food chains to agree to pay them just one cent more per pound (nearly doubling their wages).

The tomato pickers currently receive from growers who supply Subway about 40 cents for a 32-lb. bucket, a mere 1.3 cents per pound. They must pick 120 buckets, or nearly 2 tons of tomatoes per day, to earn $50 in a 10-hour day.

At a RECEPTION, you can talk to the workers &
learn from the co-sponsoring food justice groups.

C.I.W. is welcomed to New York City by
Faith Leaders for Food Justice
New York Faith and Justice
The New York City Coalition Against Hunger
Congregation B’nai Jeshurun
Hazon
Local 1500, The United Food and Commercial Workers International Union
The Peace and Restorative Justice Community of The Church of the Holy Trinity

To learn more about the Coalition of Immokalee Workers campaign for economic justice, visit their website: http://www.ciw-online.org.

Preceding the event, at 6:30 P.M., the Church of the Holy Trinity will celebrate a Candlelight Eucharist that will include a reading of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Who can endure the day of his coming?
I will be swift to bear witness against those
who oppress the hired workers in their wages.
~ Malachi 3:2,5
