[DenverFairFoodAnnounce] Report from the March on Chipotle HQ

[Robert McGoey]

On Wednesday, April 2nd nearly 100 people from in and around Denver  
came out to show their solidarity with the Coalition of Immokalee  
Workers (and brought with them over 1,000 postcards to Chipotle signed  
by individuals who couldn't make it but nonetheless wanted to tell  
Chipotle that they support farmworker rights) in a powerful rally and  
march on Chipotle headquarters.

Alliance website: http://www.sfalliance.org/chiphq.html
