Milk With Dignity: Protect Worker Rights!

As you may know Migrant Justice quickly pivoted from fighting the deportations of Enrique, Zully and Alex toward relaunching Milk with Dignity. This campaign calls on Ben & Jerry’s to practice what they preach and follow through on their 2015 commitment to join the Milk with Dignity Program. This program will secure the fundamental human rights of dairy workers.

Yesterday at Ben & Jerry’s scoop shops across the country there were protests and educational outreach. What you can do:

Democracy Now! An Evening with Amy Goodman
