[FLPERMACULTURE] Wave of outrage over latest revelations of slavery reaches British shores!

[kalewillprevail at riseup.net]

One more giant reason why industrial corporate agriculture is completely
wack...

forwarded from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers:

One of the UK's biggest national broadsheets published today a
front page "special investigation" entitled: "Slave Labor that
Shames America: Migrant workers chained, beaten and forced into debt,
exposing the human cost of producing cheap food."

Check out the powerful new article at the CIW's website, at:

http://www.ciw-online.org

The article takes an in-depth look at the charges filed by
federal prosecutors in the latest slavery investigation to emerge from
the tomato fields in Immokalee. It is accompanied by an
excellent interview with the CIW's Francisca Cortez.

PLUS... People and Planet, England's largest student and
youth organization in the fight against sweatshops and exploitation,
have also joined the fray with an e-action alert on their impressive
website. Here's a link to the P&P e-action, where you can go and
take part in the first -- and certainly not the last -- action on
the Campaign for Fair Food on the other side of the Atlantic:

Seems that a European front is opening in the battle for Fair Food!

Thanks - Coalition of Immokalee Workers
