Human Rights Day: United Workers on Solidarity
The United Workers writes this update from Immokalee, as part of the Fair Food Solidarity Tour:
Solidarity is a mindset and a value based on the belief that everyone is inherently worthy of dignity and respect. We are all human, and that is what binds us together and obligates us to struggle together for our shared respect and dignity. The specific context of our struggles differ, and we benefit strategically by fighting locally and building strong local organizations. But the ultimate struggle is the same, whether we are taxi drivers, domestic workers, students, media mobilizers, restaurant workers, child care workers, day laborers, stadium cleaners, retail workers or farm workers. This tour is about being human together, coming together in the only way possible if we are to be truly human. It about singing together, conversing together, joking and laughing, standing up together and joining in solidarity together.
