Trader Joe's Victory Party

On February 9th, 2012, the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, a group of farmworkers in Southern Florida, won a huge victory for farmworker justice. After years of resisting, Trader Joe’s got on the right side of history and signed a fair-food agreement. The agreement is a set of labor standards developed between farmworkers, tomato growers, and the corporations that purchase Florida tomatoes – with a small price premium to help improve harvesters’ wages

We are proud to announce that we will finally be celebrating our recent victory in style! Join the Community/Farmworker Alliance for an evening of live music, mojitos, tamales, dancing and much more! Not only will the party be a celebration of the amazing victory with Trader Joe’s, but it will also be where we announce our new campaign! Please join us to kick off the next step with as much energy and spirit that led us to win our last!
