Sowing Seeds of Resistance: Colombia Flower Unions, US Policy and the Struggle for Dignity – Madison.

4/3 Thurs 6 pm Sowing Seeds of Resistance: Colombia Flower Unions, US Policy and the Struggle for Dignity – Madison. At Room of One's Own Bookstore (307 W. Johnson St) This is a talk by Dora Acero, Colombian Flower Worker. A perfect example of Colombia’s complicated and painful truth is found in the flower industry. While we in the United States enjoy the beauty of store- bought flowers for special occasions; anniversaries, graduations, and birthdays; the Colombian flower growers are being exploited on a daily basis by giant US corporations, like Dole. Info? www.calamadison.com
