Migrant Justice’s Milk With Dignity Picket and Celebration

On Saturday October 3rd, we’ll join our friends at Migrant Justice for their Milk With Dignity Picket and Celebration! Learn more about Migrant Justice and their ongoing campaign at https://migrantjustice.net/about-the-milk-with-dignity-program. If you’re local or getting into town early, we hope we see you there!

Event description from Migrant Justice:

On 10/3, we will celebrate the nine-year anniversary of Ben & Jerry’s joining the Milk with Dignity Program. For nearly a decade, the program has safeguarded the human rights of hundreds of dairy workers in Vermont and New York, and reinvested millions of dollars into ensuring that the farms improve conditions to meet the worker-authored Code of Conduct. This year, we celebrate Vermont Way Foods joining Ben & Jerry’s to become Milk with Dignity’s second participating buyer!

Hannaford Supermarket now has the opportunity to follow others’ lead and join the Milk with Dignity Program. For years, the grocery chain has failed to join the program while continuing to profit from the abuses in its supply chain. Workers’ message is loud and clear: Hannaford, it’s time to get with the Program!
