Join us in welcoming Josefa Gomez and Leo Luna Alzate from Cactus, which advocates for flower worker rights in Colombia. Flowers are one of Colombia's biggest exports (with 76% imported to the US) - and a priority sector in the Labor Actions Plan created as part of the US Free Trade Agreement. The workers, 65% who are female, have few protections. Listen to Josefa and Leo who have over 10 years of experience in the flower industry and building solidarity among flower workers. This event is sponsored by Witness For Peace-Upper Midwest, the MN Fair Trade Coalition, and Veterans for Peace. For more information, contact Elise Roberts at [email protected] or 920-421-2269.
