www.migrantjustice.net(Register An Action in Your Town or City Below)
On Saturday June 20th farmworkers and community allies across the country will be organizing actions at Ben & Jerry's scoop shops to call on CEO Jostein Solheim to stand up for farmworkers' rights by joining the Milk With Dignity Program!
In Burlington, VT we will be meeting at 294 N. Winooski Ave at 12pm to kick off our big march and rally for Milk with Dignity!
Our Demand: Ben & Jerry's must ensure farmworkers' rights are respected in their supply chain by joining the Milk with Dignity Program
Why this action: For several years now Vermont dairy worker members of Migrant Justice have been educating Ben & Jerry's about serious human rights violations in its supply chain. VT farmworkers have called on Ben & Jerry's to join a new program to ensure farmworker's rights are secured and we need to demonstrate that there is huge support for Ben & Jerry's to do the right thing!
We will send action toolkits to organizers in each site! Let us know if you can pull an action together!
