[migrawatch-public] Fwd: Week of Action galvanizes CIW petition drive on campuses across US

Student/Labor Week of Action galvanizes CIW petition drive on campuses
across US

From the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (http://www.ciw-online.org):

The 2008 Student/Labor Week of Action came to a successful close this past
week
with students taking action for economic justice and human rights in
communities
across the US.

Check out the CIW website at http://www.ciw-online.org for a complete
round-up
of news, pictures, and reports from the action-packed week, courtesy of our
friends at the Student/Farmworker Alliance.

The CIW's National Petition Campaign was a central theme of the Week of
Action
and continues to grow as countless consumers demand that Burger King and
other
food industry leaders take the necessary steps to end human rights abuses and
modern-day slavery in the fields, and pledge to boycott Burger King if it
fails
to do so.

From the upcoming April 15 Senate Hearings in DC that will examine the
causes
of continuing farmworker exploitation, to the April 28 petition delivery and
action at BK headquarters in Miami, get ready for an action-packed few
weeks as
the Campaign for Fair Food heats up!

You, too, can be part of this growing campaign. Go to the petition site now
(http://www.ciw-online.org/2008_Petitions/index.html) for more ideas and
materials to bring the campaign to your community today!
