Florida’s tomato farms supply
50% of all U.S. fresh tomatoes
but have also been called America’s ‘ground zero for slavery.’
Countless workers held against their will, threatened with violence and forced to haul hundreds of heavy tomato buckets a day for little to no pay.

But a major U.S. supermarket chain,
Publix Super Markets, is refusing to support the Fair Food Program.
