Community/Farmworker Alliance Workshop!

Please Forward Widely!


Come out to learn more about the national network organizing with farmworkers to eliminate sweatshop conditions and modern-day slavery in the fields. We work in alliance with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), a Florida-based, membership-led organization of mostly Latino, Haitian, and Mayan Indian low-wage workers.

After CIW victories against major corporations like Burger King, Subway and McDonalds, the Community/Farmworker Alliance NYC is working with the CIW to take on the Supermarket Industry, starting with Trader Joe’s!

Join us to learn more about the CIW's work and the CFA-NYC campaign!


September 14 · 6:30pm
6th Street Community Center
638 East 6th Street
New York, NY

**Yummy food for sale during the event at the weekly Organic Soul Cafe which uses food from the 6th Street Community Center CSA!***
