More information about the Freedom Fast:
The decision to fast came out of conversations about how Wendy's leadership, namely Peltz, rely on the silence of farmworkers in their supply chain to continue business as usual. Twenty years after the 30-day hunger strike during the Taco Bell Boycott, the CIW will be making sure that Peltz cannot ignore the voices of farmworkers and thousands of consumers in demanding an end to sexual violence and slavery in the fields!
If you've been wondering how to seriously take action to support the movement to end sexual harassment and assault in the workplace, here is a clear way: show up for farmworker women and men who have fought tirelessly to achieve the elimination of sexual violence and other human rights abuses in the fields. It's time to support the proven solution to sexual violence at work and demand that Wendy's take responsibility for the abuses farmworkers face in their supply chain!
Allies from the Midwest are mobilizing to New York City, joining thousands of farmworkers and supporters to demand farmworker justice from Wendy’s. Wendy’s is the ONLY fast food corporation yet to join the CIW’s Fair Food Program. Your donation directly supports the fight for human rights and farmworker justice!
