WCGU: “Current and former farmworkers, allies and religious leaders are marching across a large swath of Florida.
They are calling on retail food giants like Wendy’s, Publix and Kroger to join the Fair Food Program, a human-rights initiative that many of their competitors joined over a decade ago.
Some 100 people headed off Tuesday, marching in pairs along rural roads in the south-central Florida agricultural town in Pahokee.
Over several days, these mostly current or former farmworkers as well as their families, will continue to push east, carrying banners calling for human rights, until they reach the island of Palm Beach.”
