TONIGHT!!! (10/24) At MCCOVEY COVE!!! DEMONSTATE!!! BOYCOTT THE BELL!!! SUPPORT CIW!!!
Join Florida farmworker allies *TONIGHT* at McCovey Cove to show the world what Taco Bell is really all about: SWEATSHOP LABOR!
On Oct. 22nd, 23rd and 24th, games 3, 4 and 5 of the World Series, Taco Bell will float an oversized target outside of San Francisco's Pacific Bell Park, promoting its brand to millions of viewers. Taco Bell promises free tacos to the entire country if a homerun ball "splashes down" on the target.
What Taco Bell DOESN'T PROMISE is to take responsibility for the sweatshop-like conditions under which Florida farmworkers toil.
Farmworkers who pick Taco Bell's tomatoes work for starvation wages with absolutely no benefits or job security, no overtime pay, no right to organize without fear of retaliation, and, in the most extreme cases, under conditions of modern-day slavery.
Taco Bell benefits DIRECTLY from the poverty of these immigrant workers, receiving CHEAP, high-quality US tomatoes year after year...
Today, farmworkers with the Coalition of Immokalee workers (http://www.ciw-online.org) have had enough. The CIW is spearheading a national boycott against Taco Bell, calling for an end to sweatshops in the fields.
Join their allies tonight and tomorrow night to show the world what Taco Bell is really all about: GREED, EXPLOITATION, AND HUMAN SUFFERING.
