Since 2012, the Food Chain Workers Alliance has recognized the week of Thanksgiving in the U.S. as International Food Workers’ Week. This is a special time to document problems in the food system, how food workers are organizing, and what the public can do to support them.
In 2019, we started using the hashtag #FoodWorkersRising to bring awareness specifically to worker-led campaigns across the food system. This year from November 21-29, we are sharing important food worker fights and calls-to-action that you can support. Some of these #FoodWorkersRising actions are national in scope, and some may be happening in your own community.
You can build that momentum by supporting food workers and their organizing. Check back here for updates for daily actions and join the conversation online with #FoodWorkersRising
