On Sunday, October 22nd at 4:00pm, join the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and allies for a moving interfaith service at First Congregational Church of Christ to prayerfully enjoin Wendy's to stand with farmworker women in ending sexual violence in the fields. Representatives from the CIW's formidable Women's Group will be in attendance at the service, sharing their experiences and uniting in the struggle for justice with Columbus-based faith communities.
This service is co-hosted by:
The Little Minyan Kehillah
First Unitarian Universalist of Columbus
ABUBAKAR ASIDDIQ ISLAMIC CENTER
St Philip's Episcopal Church
Church of the Saviour-United Methodist, Westerville, Ohio
North Columbus Friends Meeting
The next day, on Monday, October 23rd, participants are invited to join CIW farmworker women and their Columbus allies for a major public witness at Wendy's Dublin headquarters (located at 1 Dave Thomas Blvd, Dublin, Ohio).
Over the weekend, join us as clergy and local congregations come together — in ritual and in action — to strengthen our commitment to support farmworker women in their struggle to build an agricultural industry that is free of sexual violence.
