[Spanish] Derechos de los Trabajadores, ¡Justicia Alimentaria! / Workers' Rights, Food Justice! - Lupe Gonzalo
<p>Nuestra lucha por la justicia alimentaria debe incluir a los que trabajan más cerca de nuestros alimentos. La organizadora de trabajadores agrícolas, Lupe Gonzalo, de la <a href="https://ciw-online.org/" target="_blank">Coalición de Trabajadores de Immokalee (CIW)</a> comparte el profundo poder que se encuentra dentro de las voces de los trabajadores agrícolas. Como trabajadora agrícola, Lupe arroja luz sobre las condiciones abusivas en las que están sujetos trabajadores agrícolas, desde el robo de salaries, la agresión sexual, y condiciones similares a esclavitud moderna. Los intentos fallidos de responsabilizar a los propietarios de granjas por las atrocidades en curso llevaron a Lupe y sus colegas a recurrir al poder de la responsabilidad social. El programa y la campaña Fair Food de CIW amplifican las voces de los trabajadores agrícolas para promover el cambio y fomentar la responsabilidad entre las grandes corporaciones de alimentos para establecer un código de conducta entre sus proveedores. Yendo más allá de establecer protecciones y garantizar que las políticas de seguridad se implementen y hagan cumplir, CIW ha luchado para construir poder, voz y agencia entre los trabajadores agrícolas en Immokalee, FL e inspirado a defensores en todo el país.</p> <p>Our fight for food justice must include those working closest to our food. Farmworker organizer, Lupe Gonzalo, of the <a href="https://www.ciw-online.org/" target="_blank">Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW)</a> shares the profound power that lies within farmworker voices. As a farmworker herself, Lupe sheds light on the abusive conditions farmworkers work and live in everyday—from wage theft to sexual assault to modern-day slavery. Failed attempts to hold farm owners accountable for on-going atrocities led Lupe and her colleagues to turn to the power of social responsibility. CIWs Fair Food Program and campaign amplifies farmworker voices to advance change and foster responsibility among large food corporations to establish a code of conduct amongst their vendors. Going beyond establishing protections and ensuring that safety policies are implemented and enforced, CIW has worked to build power, voice, and agency among farmworkers in Immokalee, FL and inspired advocates nation-wide.</p>
