SFA gears up for Truth Tour with Student Labor Week of Action!
Our dreams, our rights – Demand a better future!
March 28th through April 4th marks the 8th Annual Student Labor Week of Action as well as Farmworker Awareness Week. Join hundreds of campuses for this powerful, nationwide demonstration of students' commitment to economic justice – from access to affordable education to respect for campus employees to corporate accountability for human
rights abuse in the fields. Bringing together these issues and many more, the week – which bookends Cesar Chavez's birthday and the anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. – has grown into a truly impressive testament to diverse movements demanding a better world.
Kicking off just 10 days before the 2007 McDonald's Truth Tour departs from Immokalee, this year's Week of Action provides an excellent opportunity to pull out all the stops in mobilizing for the historic Chicago actions on April 13th and 14th. Ideas include last-minute education and outreach events, a fundraiser to help defray travel costs, op-ed's to campus and local newspapers explaining why you're going to Chicago, and, of course, creative protest actions at McDonald's restaurants.
