2008 ENCUENTRO UPDATE

100+ students and youth hold powerful Encuentro in Immokalee; launch whirlwind of action for fair food

In the tradition of SFA, more than 100+ students from across the country gathered once again for the 2008 Encuentro in Immokalee, Florida. It was four fun filled days for the youth and older SFA'ers that gathered. During the time spent at the Encuentro it SFA members spent the time strenghtening the connections meeting other members from across the country, and strategizing for the upcoming months of action in regards to Chipotle and Subway.

The youth gathered not only made stronger ties and had several meetings to learn and brainstorm for the current campaigns, but they also took time out for some fun, catching up with old friends, making new friends and allies throughout the country.

and lets not forget our victories:




as the CIW will work towards another victory with Chipotle & Subway signing the agreemtns, this will happen with the aid of todays youth, the Student Farmworker Alliance across the country, the Fair Food Nation and all allies working towards this end!! Hasta La Victoria!!
