The Milk with Dignity Organizing Tour!

 Throughout the month of April, Migrant Justice will be on the road, connecting with supporters and taking action for Milk with Dignity. We will hold more than 50 organizing meetings across seven states. Farmworkers and organizers will connect with audiences to share the successes of the Milk with Dignity program and help communities join the struggle for farmworker rights!

A follow-up to 2021’s hugely successful Dignity Tour, April’s “Organizing Tour” will take us to even more cities and towns throughout New England and New York. Milk with Dignity supporters will have the opportunity to learn about the campaign and to get involved. Every stop will include a direct action that participants can take that will put pressure on supermarket chain Hannaford to stamp out abuses on farms by joining the Milk with Dignity program. 

Over the next several weeks, Migrant Justice will travel to every state where Hannaford Supermarket has a store, including the company’s home state of Maine. We will hold organizing meetings in school and universities, churches and synagogues, public libraries and community farms. From Providence, Rhode Island to Portland, ME; from Newton, Massachusetts to Newport, Vermont: turn out to hear about the incredible human rights transformation underway in the dairy industry – and join with farmworkers to bring about a “new day for human rights.”
