Rally and March on Chipotle headquarters TOMMORROW!

Wednesday April 2nd, 12noon

Tell Chipotle
NO MORE HIDING! FARMWORKER JUSTICE NOW!

Gather at:
Market Street Station
(Market and 16th St.)

March to:
Chipotle headquarters
1543 Wazee St.

Join members of the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and Denver allies  
to show Chipotle Mexican Grill that we want an end to sweatshops in  
the fields!

Background:
The CIW--a Florida-based organization of Latino, Haitian, and Mayan  
farmworkers--has called on Chipotle Mexican Grill to ensure fair wages  
and human rights for the workers who pick tomatoes that fill its tacos  
and burritos.

Tomato pickers in Florida earn sub-poverty wages, have no right to  
form unions or to benefits of any kind, and have not received a  
significant raise in nearly 30 years.  In the most extreme cases,  
workers are held in modern-day slavery and forced to work against  
their will.  Chipotle's demand for the cheapest tomatoes, without  
regard for the human cost to workers, has contributed to the sweatshop  
conditions in the fields.

Chipotle, however, has refused to even meet with the CIW and has even  
claimed to have switched tomato suppliers in an effort to avoid  
improving conditions for farmworkers.

We will show Chipotle that as long as it continues its current path of  
avoidance, we - workers in Florida and consumers and residents in  
Denver - will intensify our call and action for justice.
