Surprise Victory
For nearly a decade, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers has been fighting for justice for farmworkers in the tomato fields in Florida. In 2005, after a lengthy boycott campaign, the CIW convinced the Taco Bell corporation to pay fairer wages to the farmworkers. In 2007, the CIW negotiated a similar agreement with fast food giant McDonald's. But when the CIW turned their sights on Burger King, they faced much fiercer opposition.
We are pleased to report, however, that Burger King is now working together with the CIW, and has signed a deal to increase wages for farmworkers, and has committed to drafting an industry-wide code of conduct for farmworkers in general. Congratulations to the CIW, the Student Farmworker Alliance, the Alliance for Fair Food, and everyone who participated in this great victory.

Justice Tour: Epilogue
"The Inaugural 2008 Justice Tour is complete...and it all seems like a wonderful dream - and a horrible nightmare too. In fact, I had both while on tour. Which makes a lot of sense. We saw the absolute best in people, and the absolute worst devastation (courtesy of our government). We had the most ROCKING nights EVER, with people literally jumping for joy! We saw things that gave us a deep pit of nausea and anger in our guts, that may never go away."

"Earth Day 2008 found The Justice Tour in Asheville, North Carolina, which was ideal because it is a gorgeous piece of Earth. Wow. We flew in (on a little commuter jet - eek) to see rolling mountains, blossoms and pale green leaves on all the trees, drinking up springtime ... and cool home-made Justice Tour posters everywhere."

"Justice Tour" Update: New Orleans!
