Stir It Up Mini-Conference: Bringing Justice to Campus Food Service!
DePaul University, Chicago
Saturday November 7, 12-5 pm
As this blog demonstrates, students and workers all over are fighting to ensure campus food service reflects their values -- from students standing up with campus food service workers and their union, Unite Here, to students organizing with the Student/Farmworker Alliance Dine With Dignity campaign to others demanding fair trade or sustainability on campus.
On Saturday, November 7, join students from across the Chicago area to learn more about what others are doing and how we can all fight for change.
At the mini-conference, you'll:
- Hear from campus food service workers about what it is like to work in the industry and what it's like to be part of a union fighting to change it.
- Hear from other students campaigning to bring justice to their campus food service.
- Learn about Unite Here and the Student/Farmworker Alliance.
- Learn skills to help you make a difference!
The conference will take place at DePaul University's Lincoln Park campus from 12-5pm on Saturday, November 7. To register for the conference, go to stiritupcampaign.org/chicago. You can also download a flyer to help spread the word to your friends.
Hope to see you there!
