Florida Farm Workers March for Fair Food.
Farm workers and supporters in Florida began a 45-mile march called to denounce human rights abuses in US agriculture and urge retail food giants to join the Fair Food Program. The march started in Pahokee, a farming town where in 2016 migrant guestworkers escaped from a labor camp surrounded by barbed wire, and is scheduled to end in Palm Beach, a posh beachfront enclave where a top Wendy’s chain leader lives. Farm worker leaders join this conversation from the march.
