Familias Unidas Boycott Driscoll’s Tour

Familias Unidas Boycott Driscoll’s Tour 



Familias Unidas Boycott Driscoll’s Tour in Solidarity with la Alianza de San Quintin 
From March 18 to April 15, 2016

This March and April Familias Unidas por la Justicia (Families United for Justice) is organizing a month long west coast tour to strengthen the boycott of Driscoll’s berrries all over the West Coast of the United States and build connections and solidarity with other movement organizations fighting to change the food system. 

Familias Unidas por la Justicia is an independent farmworker union that has been waging a historic struggle for the last three years for just working conditions through a union contract at Sakuma bros berry farm in Burlington, Washington. They have been calling for a boycott of both Sakuma, and Driscoll’s berries (the worlds biggest berry distributor who sells Sakuma berries) until the company meets their demands. Since 2015 they have been working in solidarity with la Alianza, the farmworker union in San Quintin Mexico who are struggling for better conditions and also calling for a boycott of Driscoll’s Berries.
