MARCHA CAMPESINA! CELEBRATE VICTORY FOR TULIP WORKERS AND SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR FAMILIAS UNIDAS POR LA JUSTICIA!

MAY 1st 9:00 am, Edgewater Park, Mt Vernon

Come out this May Day and stand with the farmworker families who feed us and bring beauty to our lives! After years of wage theft, enduring harsh climate conditions, and working without proper protective equipment, tulip workers courageously walked off the job and organized a strike at Roozengarde tulips last month to demand improvements to conditions and pay. Within three days they secured direct negotiations with the company and won most of their demands! As farmworker families organize to stand up for themselves, community solidarity has bolstered morale and confidence. Come out this May Day to celebrate the victory in the tulip fields with the workers and let them know you will continue to stand with them for the long haul fight for a just food system!
