Join farmworkers in calling on Publix to ensure justice in the fields!
Given Publix’s refusal to work with the CIW to improve wages and conditions for those who pick its tomatoes, the CIW farmworkers and IA are taking the Campaign for Fair Food to Publix Supermarkets across the state. We invite you to join us at one of the events in your area! Click on each area below for more details:
