"It didn't benefit me either."

This digital story about the progression of my involvement in the Campaign for Fair Food hopefully captures at least a fragment of the invaluable knowlegde, hope, dignity and meaning that I have gained through joining in partnership and alliance with the workers of Immokalee in order to build a better world.
