The next time you visit your local grocery store, take one of the following letters and drop it off with the manager(s) on duty. Express to them your hope that their company will work with the CIW to end exploitation and modern-day slavery in the fields and that they deliver that message to their higher-ups. Manager Letter "drops" go perfect with creative actions outside stores.

Downloadable letters:

Giant
Kroger
Publix
Stop & Shop
Chipotle
Quizno's

If none of those supermarkets are in your area, download the general manager letter, appropriate for any store in the country (including Walmart).

Visit our supermarket campaign headquarters to see a map indicating which of these corporations operate supermarkets in your area.

Organize a creative, nonviolent, eye-catching action to raise public awareness and pressure the supermarkets to come to the table with the CIW.

Download flyers to distribute to passers-by here and check out some action organizing tips here. Contact us for more ideas and help. You can also consult the archive in the left sidebar for some more great action and visual ideas.

One of the CIW's mottoes is "Consciousness + Commitment = Change." You can help create consciousness in your community about the conditions in the fields and the important changes being created by the CIW's Campaign for Fair Food by screening a DVD about the struggle.

Please contact us to receive a free DVD and other organizing/educational materials including articles, postcards, stickers, buttons and more.

At both the local and national levels, student, youth, religious, labor, sustainable food and grassroots organizations are coming together to build broad-based alliances in partnership with the CIW.
