Posted Tue, 10/22/2024 - 4:34pm
The Milk with Dignity Month of Action has reached its final week! Unseasonably warm temperatures and sunny days have kept the actions going, as farmworkers and allies continue to picket Hannaford Supermarkets around the region. At each action, workers are connecting with consumers to build support for the campaign and increase the pressure on Hannaford to join the Milk with Dignity Program.
The third week of the Month of Action brought Migrant Justice to Maine – with energetic pickets in Portland and Belfast – then back to Vermont for a consumer education event in Williston. During the pickets, farmworkers from Maine and Vermont stood side-by-side and called on potential Hannaford customers to show support by not crossing the picket line. Many would-be shoppers turned around after hearing workers’ messages.
