November 8, 2021 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM Hannaford, 295 Forest Ave, Portland, ME 04101 More Info and RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/march-for-milk-with-dignity Description: Maine DSA is turning out for the march for Milk With Dignity. This is a campaign put together by Migrant Justice out of Vermont, lead by dairy farmers, fighting for dignity at the workplace and home. RSVP here to get more updates about how you can support the campaign! Consolidation and globalization in the food industry allow powerful retail brands to leverage their volume purchasing power and benefit from low prices. This creates downward pressure on farmers’ incomes and, ultimately, on farmworkers’ wages and working conditions. After significant immigrant rights victories and building upon years of working to improve labor and housing conditions on a farm-by-farm basis, Vermont dairy workers’ search for an effective systemic change led them to Florida. A series of farmworker-to-farmworker exchanges with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) opened Vermont workers’ eyes to the transformative power of the Worker Driven Social Responsibility (WSR) model that fuels the CIW’s highly acclaimed Fair Food Program (FFP).
