What do everyday eaters and food-industrial workers have at stake in each other’s challenges and goals? Join a diverse panel of speakers to take a look at our food system and the workers that help put food on our tables. What conditions do many of these workers face? What alternatives do they have, and how do their struggles affect us? How can we help make the food we eat as fair as possible for everyone involved? 

This insightful evening provides an opportunity to learn, listen and speak out about our food system, and the immigration and labor issues that relate to how our nation is fed. Help shape the discussion with your questions and comments.
