What is the Faith & Fair Food Summit?
The 2021 Faith and Fair Food Summit is an opportunity for clergy and lay leaders of all faiths across the country to come together to reflect upon, strategize, and grow our farmworker solidarity network. This virtual space will orient allies to the legacy of faith organizing within the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ impressive history, and provide an opportunity for us to co-create the next chapter of faith and fair food solidarity. Programming will include interactive sessions on the history of faith organizing in Immokalee, the expansion and operation of the Fair Food Program, and the ongoing boycott of Wendy’s. Join us as we forge meaningful connections and relationships that power the Alliance for Fair Food’s work for farmworker justice.
