DESCRIPTION:We are asking allies all over the Bay Area to come and support the fight 
 for farmworker justice by demonstrating at Wendy's!\n\nIn solidarity with 
 the Wendy's Founder's Week - National Week of Action, this will be a 
 demonstration and letter delivery that all are welcome to (more details on 
 the National Week of Action and Wendy's Campaign below). Please consider 
 sending a delegation (2+ people) from your organization (or come just as 
 yourself)!\n\nPlease DO NOT park in the Wendy's parking lot. \n\nFor 
 questions contact: elisa@sfalliance.org and for more information about the 
 Coalition of Immokalee Workers, visit:

 THE WENDY'S CAMPAIGN AND FAIR FOOD PROGRAM:\n\nEvery year, Wendy's 
 celebrates "Founder's Week" - a week during which they celebrate the values 
 that Dave Thomas founded the company on. \n\nAll across the nation, cities 
 and Fair Food groups will be organizing actions throughout the week – 
 including letter deliveries, marches, and protests to highlight the fact 
 that Dave Thomas’ values stand in stark contradiction to Wendy’s 
 current refusal to join the Fair Food Program. There are already actions 
 planned in over a dozen cities nationwide – from D.C. to Columbus, OH – 
 sending the message that Wendy’s rejection of a verifiable solution to 
 ensure human rights for farmworkers undermines the values the company 
 espouses. \n\nThe Student/Farmworker Alliance is made up of students, 
 youth, people of faith, and community members organizing in solidarity with 
 the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) to strengthen the Fair Food 
 Program and build a Fair Food Nation.\n\nThe Fair Food program has been 
 recognized internationally and nationally (recently by the White House, the 
 United Nations and the Roosevelt Institute) as one of the most effective 
 campaigns fighting modern-day slavery and promoting worker’s rights that 
 exists today. Today, the CIW has successfully signed with 11 corporations, 
 including: Taco Bell (Yum! Brands), McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, 
 Chipotle, Sodexo, Bon Appetit, Aramark, Compass group, Whole Foods and 
 Trader Joe’s.\n\nHowever, Wendy’s has refused to sign on to the Fair 
 Food Program. If all the other corporations listed above have signed on, 
 then why not Wendy’s?\n\nIf you can’t attend the demonstration, please 
 consider donating a small amount to support SFA’s efforts to build a Fair 
 Food Nation!\n\nFor questions contact: elisa@sfalliance.org and for more
