The Coalition Of Immokalee Workers staged a five-mile march and rally in Chicago on April 1 to protest food chain McDonald’s exploitation of farmworkers. The coalition’s website states, “As the march made its way through Chicago and the crowd grew, the march itself became the message—a diverse group of people, from farmworkers to everyday consumers, brought together by a common vision of economic justice, a call for fair wages and human rights, finally, for workers whose exploitation has gone unquestioned for far too long while corporations throughout the food industry have profited from their labor.”
