Hi Regional Farmers,

We would be honored to have you join us for this important event on farmworker rights in Ithaca this Friday, November 18th at 5:00PM! Please share widely.

Thanks so much,

On Friday November 18th, please join Groundswell Center for Local Food and Farming, New Roots Charter School, Congo Square Market, the Multicultural Resource Center, the Youth Farm Project, the Tompkins County Workers' Center, and Latino Civic Association of Tompkins County for an evening of food, film and justice!

The event is a special fall iteration of Congo Square Market, with dinner for sale by community vendors from 5:00-6:30PM, t-shirt sales by New Roots students and Groundswell Center, and vegetable sales by the Youth Farm Project. Dinner will be followed by a screening of the film “Food Chains”, a movie on the revolutionary Fair Food organizing of Florida based human rights group The Coalition of Immokalee Workers.

Join us for a post-film panel discussion on local action for farmworker rights, featuring Fabiola Ortiz Valdez and Nikeeta Slade of the Workers' Center of Central NY, Carlos Gutierrez of the Tompkins County Workers' Center, Mary Jo Dudley of the Cornell Farmworker Program, and more TBA!
