First Texas SFA Regional Encuentro A Success |
Saturday’s Encuentro started with an introduction to SFA, CIW, and the Campaign for Fair Food. We had folks brand new to the campaign as well as veteran@s from the days of the Taco Bell Boycott - including UTSA, where mechistas successfully organized to keep Taco Bell off their campus [PDF] - who shared history and their reflection on what SFA and the CIW have meant to them over the years. The most exciting part of our Encuentro on Saturday was the March to Kroger in the afternoon. Over 20 students and community allies marched the streets of Houston passing out cards to people in the community and putting pressure on the local Kroger. We were kicked off the Kroger property by the manager and then monitored by the police but we were able to get the manager to talk to us and make a couple of calls to his supervisors. People in the local community came out and were supportive of the rally. Several shoppers turned away after we passed out information on why we were protesting. [Read the Full Story with photos]
