Rural Vermont stands in solidarity with Migrant Justice to support their campaign to persuade Hannaford’s Supermarkets to join the Milk with Dignity Program.
Join us!
To join Rural Vermont, and other organizations standing in solidarity with Migrant Justice and their Milk with Dignity campaign, please sign up here and you will be connected with specific actions in your area. In the Central VT area? Here are two ways to get involved locally:
Collaborating with other racial, social, and economic justice organizations in central Vermont, Rural Vermont is “adopting” the Barre, VT Hannaford’s store and holding visibility and education actions at the store in April. Email andrea@ruralvermont.org to find out how to get involved!
On May Day (May 1st), International Workers’ Day, we will join a regional day of action at the Barre Hannaford’s as other actions take place in Burlington, Middlebury and around the northeast. Join us from 1:30 - 3:30 on May 1!
Migrant Justice recently shared “For over two years now, farmworkers have called on Hannaford Supermarkets to join Milk with Dignity and protect farmworker rights and well-being. Despite dozens of actions and thousands of calls and emails, Hannaford continues to avoid responsibility. This means that the company hasn’t yet felt enough pressure. For Hannaford’s to come to the table and talk with farmworkers, they need to hear from their customers consistently and throughout the region.”
If you have questions or want to help with organizing events in your area, please contact Andrea Stander, Rural Vermont’s Interim Grassroots Organizing Director.
