Campaign for Fair Food - Trader Joe's

Dear friends, Jesus exhorted his disciples to be salt and light in the world (Mt. 5:13-15). We are to demonstrate the kind of world that God desires by living that way now. On February 10, Trader Joe's is preparing to open its first-ever store in Naples, Florida just 30 miles from Immokalee. Farmworkers will bike from Immokalee to the store opening and hold a press conference calling on the grocery chain to sign a fair food agreement with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. Across the nation more than 30 cities will be holding actions at local Trader Joe’s stores February 10-12.  If you’re nearby any of these cities, you’re invited to join the action. Sign on to a petition to Trader Joe’s (more than 62,000 signatures and counting!) Email the CEO of Trader Joe’s. When you shop, take a letter to the manager of your local Trader Joe’s store. Are you near one of the 33 cities planning TJs actions? Join! Pray for Trader Joe’s, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, and the ongoing witness of the Campaign for Fair Food. Learn more about advances achieved by the CIW’s Fair Food Program which is supported by nine major retailers and more than 90 percent of Florida growers. Through our witness, may God’s desire for justice and love be known. Let your light shine! Peace, PC(USA) Campaign for Fair Food
