Over 100 farmworkers and students
from the University of Florida got together in Gainesville on
Sunday, Feb. 4, to protest in front of Taco Bell. The action
launched a month of protests at university Taco Bell restaurants,
kicking off the CIW's "Taco Bell Truth Tour".
University of Florida students
began circulating a petition on Sunday calling for the school
to remove Taco Bell from the University of Florida campus unless
Taco Bell agrees to meet with CIW representatives and take substantive
action to improve wages and working conditions for the farmworkers
who pick their tomatoes.
By the end of the day they already
had collected over 200 signatures!
Below are some photos from Sunday's
action.
