The Workers Circle is a longstanding partner of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the worker-led, human rights based organization in Immokalee, Florida. Meet up with Ann Toback, Workers Circle’s CEO, Rich Rumelt, Workers Circle’s President, and Noelle Damico, Director of Social Justice at the 5-mile march on Saturday, April 2 from Bradley Park to the new Palm Beach offices of Wendy’s Board Chair, billionaire hedge-fund magnate, Nelson Peltz, and head of Wendy’s largest institutional investor Trian Partners.

Yes, I’m Interested in the March!

Over a decade ago, farmworkers with the CIW created the award-winning Fair Food Program, a uniquely successful program of worker-led monitoring and enforcement that has virtually eradicated long-standing human rights abuses, from sexual assault to modern-day slavery, for tens of thousands of farmworkers under its groundbreaking protections. 

Thanks to the unstinting activism of consumers like you who campaigned shoulder-to-shoulder with farmworkers, all of the largest fast-food companies — McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway, Taco Bell and Chipotle — joined the program a decade ago.  All except Wendy’s. 

With modern-day slavery prosecutions on the rise in fields beyond the Fair Food Program and Covid laying bare the vulnerability and presumed expendability of farmworkers outside the Fair Food Program, it is urgent to get Wendy’s on-board. The Workers Circle has joined tens of thousands of people across the country in the farmworker-led boycott of Wendy’s. Now we need to hit the streets!
