Thousands of workers sweat in the Florida heat to harvest tomatoes for Trader Joe’s, and earn just a few dollars a day to do it.

Over 62,000 messages have been directly sent to Trader Joe’s CEO Dan Bane calling on him to sign the Fair Food Agreement with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers - a group of farm workers fighting for a living wage and humane work conditions.

Mr. Bane is stalling on signing the agreement.

As a Trader Joe’s customer, you can affect him directly and powerfully. We know from past pressure campaigns that CEOs listen to stores managers and customers above nearly anyone else.

Picking tomatoes is gruelling work. Customers being heard by Trader Joe’s is easy. Can you take take the next step and contact your local Trader Joe’s or call their headquarters? It will only take a second and you’ll be changing workers' lives.

Yes, I can drop off a pre-written letter to the manager of my local Trader Joe's, and/or talk to the manager directly.

Yes, I can call their national headquarters.
