What You Can Do For Banana Workers
Note: This campaign website remains here for historical research. Global Exchange is no longer actively maintaining this section of the site.
- Organize a banana workers rights campaign in your
town! Contact deborah@globalexchange.org for
ideas.
- Learn about the situation of banana workers, the
history of agricultural commodity production and what you can do to
stop the Race to the Bottom. Check out our background
page, www.usleap.org and www.bananalink.org.uk.
- Publish a Letter to the Editor or an article in your
local newsletter about your concern for banana workers and your
commitment to seeing farm worker's rights respected in your
community.
- Educate your local school, church, or community group
about agricultural labor and banana workers rights. We can supply a
speaker and other educational materials.
