2008: Year in review

Campaign for Fair Food sets its sights on food service providers, supermarkets in 2009

January 6, 2009 - As a new year and a new phase in the campaign both begin, we'd like to take a moment to remember & reflect upon some highlights from 2008.

Click here and scroll up to relive all the action from last year - including the National Petition Campaign, the Burger King spy scandal, and THREE (count 'em!) major victories.

We start 2009 in a new direction: targeting the food service providers (such as Aramark and Sodexo) and supermarket chains that -- as the fast-food industry before them -- profit from the egregious exploitation of farmworkers in their supply chains. Stay tuned for all the coming news and info on how you can get involved in these new and exciting campaigns!
