( Ok political conservatives...(you know who you are) if you have any sort of negative reaction towards the words: "social justice" ...you may want to ignore the rest of this post or risk elevating your blood pressure.

The benefit organizers are trying to raise awareness for the Coalition of Immokalee Workers:
There is, today, a human rights crisis in Florida’s tomato fields. Tomato pickers in Florida face sweatshop conditions every day: • Sub-poverty wages - Tomato pickers make, on average, $10,000/year; • No raise in nearly 30 years - Pickers are paid virtually the same per bucket piece rate (roughly 45 cents per 32 lb. bucket) today as they were in 1980. At today’s rate, workers have to pick nearly 2 ½ TONS of tomatoes just to earn minimum wage for a typical 10-hr day; • Denial of fundamental labor rights - Farmworkers in Florida have no right to overtime pay, even when working 60-70 hour weeks, and no right to organize or bargain collectively. Even worse, numerous modern-day slavery rings, in which workers are held against their will and forced to work through violence or threats of violence, have been discovered in the fields. The Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) has assisted the Department of Justice in uncovering, investigating, and successfully prosecuting 7 such cases – involving more than 1,000 workers -- since 1997.
