Join the Geography Club for a screening of the movie “Paying the Price: the Toxic Fields of Sinaloa,” a documentary about the conditions of migrant workers in Northern Mexico.

Date: Tuesday, November 3, 2009
Time: 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Location: Page Hall 0020

There will be a follow-up Q&A with Melody Gonzalez, the Campaign Coordinator of Fair Food Across Borders. Melody graduated from Notre Dame where she helped lead a protest of a sports sponsorship supported by Taco Bell; this was in support of the Immokalee Workers Boycott of Taco Bell. For the past 3 years, Melody has served as a bridge between the multiple student, faith, labor, and community-based allies of the CIW, raising consciousness about the exploitation and human rights abuses faced by farm workers in Florida and moving consumers to take action to demand fair food, justice, and dignity. She also provides a unique perspective as the daughter of Mexican immigrants who worked on farms in both Sinaloa, Mexico, and in the United States.

FOOD WILL BE PROVIDED
