Last week, leaders of the food justice movement — – including Eric Schlosser and Robert Kenner, producer and director of the hard-hitting new documentary “Food, Inc.” — sent a strongly worded letter to Chipotle, the fastest growing company in fast-food, demanding that they live up to its claims of “Food with Integrity” and “work with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers as a true partner in the protection of farmworkers’ rights.”
Now it’s your turn to get in on the action. Add your name to the letter to Chipotle CEO Steve Ells demanding real “food with integrity” and an end to the human rights crisis in Florida’s tomato fields. Go to http://action.americanrightsatwork.org/campaign/chipotle to participate in this email action.
