Solidarity Actions: During the hunger strike in front of Taco Bell headquarters in Irvine, CA, students, religious, and labor allies of the
boycott who couldn't make it out to California
organized solidarity fasts and actions in OVER 100 cities
and towns across the country.
We have kept a list of all the actions we heard of here on
this page (76, so far!), so take a look at a few of the reports from a selection of the actions here below, or scroll down for a complete list of those we have
been informed of, and an interactive map where you can
click on the state of your choice to see where actions
took place -- and where there are active, exciting
boycott committees just waiting to give you an outlet
for your FAIR FOOD fanatacism!
And of course, if you organized an action in your
community and don't find it here on our list, don't hesitate to
Email us at workers@ciw-online.org with all the photos and a written report, and we'll happily post it!
