CIW: ‘The Fast for Fair Food Begins’

http://www.ciw-online.org/

From CIW:

150 people gathered this morning at Publix headquarters in Lakeland, Florida — including 60 workers from Immokalee and their allies who started their fast last night at midnight — for the launch of the Fast for Fair Food. After a moving opening ceremony and a couple of hours spent setting up camp, the fasters settled into what will be their daily routine for the coming week — morning medical check-ups, music, presentations, and standing in witness to the daily struggle for survival of their fellow farmworkers in the fields of Florida. You can follow the fast during the day on facebook and twitter (using the hashtag #fairfoodfast) and check back here this afternoon for a full report from Day One of the Fast for Fair Food!
