Food Justice in 2021

The ACLC is part of the Food Justice League, a coalition of workers, producers, and environmentalists whose mission is to replace the current UF contract with Aramark with one that respects workers, supports sustainable agriculture, and values a vision of a better food system in Gainesville. The Food Justice League has 5 sets of demands that are based around food service worker well being, the environment, and accountability. Sign the petition for food justice at UF here

Right now the students, mostly lead by Dream Defenders and the Coalition Against Prison Slavery (CAPS) are leading a public campaign to boycott the Retiz to call attention to this. There is also discussion of earned media campaigns, op-eds, and more. We’re also looking at adding pressure via the Faculty Senate as the Student Government.
