Flowers, Farms, and Factories: Workers’ Voices from Colombia, Cambodia, & Costa Rica
Thursday April 10, 7-9pm
Pilgrim Congregational Church
2592 W. 14th (at Starkweather), Cleveland’s Tremont neighborhood

The U.S. is the largest retail market in the world. The people who make the products we buy are routinely subjected to exploitation and abuse: physical, sexual, verbal, and emotional. The flowers we give our loved ones, the bananas and pineapples we eat, and the clothes we wear all come at a very human cost.

Join us for a panel discussion to hear personal stories of three courageous workers.
Learn the real costs of the things we buy. Learn how we can make conscious consumer decisions and support the dignity of workers.
