Light in the Dark Fest Benefiting:
|
Frontline workers in the food system have long been denied livable wages, safe working conditions, access to healthcare, and paid sick days. While these conditions existed before COVID, this crisis has become a tool to continue exploiting frontline food workers. Many still lack basic protective gear, access to paid sick days, additional compensation for increased risk to their lives, and there are still no federal health and safety protections for workers during this pandemic. Because of these conditions, and despite the risk of retaliation, food workers are organizing with walk-outs, strikes, and other collective action.

Light in the Dark Festival has chosen to be a fundraiser festival for Food Chain Workers Alliance, a bi-national coalition building power across every sector of the food chain to eradicate worker exploitation. By giving to FCWA, you’re supporting trainings for workers to lead their own campaigns, solidarity-building across sectors of the food supply chain, and innovative policy interventions to defend food workers on a local and national level.
