Read the latest @washingtonpost article from @NicolasFuRivero on how the Fair Food Program’s heat protections are saving farmworkers’ lives every day, and how the FFP is expanding nationwide and even across the globe. https://t.co/M9lptXcco4

Labor and human rights groups in India are bringing a Fair Food Program-style model to the sugar industry, hoping to push big brands to sign binding legal agreements to protect workers and adopt humane standards.

Following in the model of the @ciw 's @FairFoodProgram we are building towards Worker-driven Social Responsibility (WSR) program at every link in the #sugarindustry supply chain.

You can also find and follow the Fair Food Program now on BlueSky!

The Fair Food Program is now active on Bluesky, follow us there for updates on the progress and expansion of the FFP:

With our heartfelt gratitude on this Thanksgiving holiday, thank you for standing with us.

Congratulations to Greg Asbed, Lucas Benitez, Jon Esformes, and Elyse Lipman on being named in this year's Florida 500 for their work advancing human rights in agriculture with the Fair Food Program! @FloridaTrend

After years of global campaigning, Levi's signed Pakistan @SafetyAccord. It's a growing consensus: binding, enforceable agreements backed by worker education & organizing w/ independent enforcement mechanisms are the best way to protect people at work. https://t.co/sVzk2tjdx6

https://t.co/8INxaewGhh Greg Asbed, @ciw, on Worker-driven Social Responsibility: "This new paradigm for human rights protection has established an unparalleled track record of success for more than a decade..."

@ElliottForWard1 @aishaforward10 @JChavezMpls BDC director Doug Mork & CTUL director Merle Payne explain how this program will work, with workers having a space to share what they are facing to make changes. Merle shared praise for the 2 non-profit developers showing leadership & called on for-profit developers to step up!

🚨Breaking🚨CTUL workers have campaigned to end abuses in non-union construction for years, and today are announcing the historic news that two Twin Cities affordable housing developers (@Hope_MN and @AllianceHsg) have becoming the first to join @BDC_Standards! 🧵

"Tens of thousands of Non-unionized workers face harassment, wage theft & child labor violations. For the first time, two Twin Cities housing developers say they'll join the Building Dignity and Respect Program." https://t.co/yvX8YmLHsE

As hurricane Milton hits Florida, @ciw tells @democracynow how their radio station informs the community & how @FairFoodProgram has improved conditions, saving lives during storms. This is why organized workers are a critical part of our climate response. https://t.co/oKgbP1QpLU

As Hurricane Milton nears FL, read about how farmworkers with the CIW are organizing the community to ensure the thousands of farmworkers and their families are safe and well-resourced in times of accelerating climate change, from @syraob of @MiamiHerald

The transformative work of @ciw, @fairfoodnation & @FairFoodProgram is breathtaking. And to think that they could double their capacity now....

https://t.co/mLTsH0rCVQ From Immokalee, Florida – the birthplace of the Fair Food Program — we want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Nnimmo Bassey, and wish him the best of luck in his continued efforts!

https://t.co/Q2M4WIg9v3 On this Labor Day, USA Today published an opinion piece from Gerardo Reyes Chavez, a farmworker and longtime leader with the @ciw on the transformative impact of the @FairFoodProgram

https://t.co/BxJtN3pd73 “While the @FairFoodProgram is great for workers, it’s good for employers and retail brands, too. That’s because it has tackled longstanding human rights violations such as forced labor, child labor, physical violence and sexual assault.”

"The bottom line: Food retailers, which could require their suppliers to join programs like the @FairFoodProgram or #MilkWithDignity, are key to ending widespread forced labor." - @axios
