Migrant Justice: Milk With Dignity Tour Presentation
Sunday, March 8, 2:00-4:00pm
Deborah Rawson Memorial Library, Jericho, VT
Join us for a 1.5 hour presentation with farmworker leaders from Vermont's dairy industry. Learn more about Milk with Dignity, the current Hannaford campaign and how to get involved!

Farmworkers from Vermont are hitting the road this March to spread the word about Milk with Dignity! Since Ben & Jerry's became the first company to sign onto the Milk with Dignity Program in 2017, farmworkers have seen groundbreaking improvements in human rights issues on dairy farms across the state. This program also supports farmers by securing a milk premium from big dairy-buying companies that goes directly to farmers and farmworkers. Now farmworkers are engaged in plans to expand the program to another regional dairy-buyer, the Hannaford supermarket! Come to learn more about Milk with Dignity, exciting updates about the Hannaford Campaign, and how to get involved in this and other Migrant Justice endeavors! Refreshments and time to talk with farmworkers will follow the presentation. This event is in a series of community forums sponsored by Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, the United Church of Underhill, and the Mount Mansfield UU Fellowship. Questions? contact Jan Steinbauer at 802-488-4041.
