Voices of Inclusion in Essex and Westford (VIEW), Migrant Justice, Phoenix Books, and Essex Free Library present this opportunity to gather in community and discuss Vermont Reads 2022 choice: The Most Costly Journey. This book is a collaboration between migrant workers and New England Cartoonists and offers a series of non-fiction comics about migrant workers' experiences here in Vermont.

We will discuss the book and receive a presentation from members of Migrant Justice as part of their Milk with Dignity Campaign at Essex Free Library on April 17th from 6-8 pm. Food will be provided at the event.

Immigrant dairy workers are traveling across the northeast this spring to connect with supporters and take action for Milk with Dignity! Farmworker organization Migrant Justice is calling on grocery chain Hannaford supermarkets to source its store-brand milk from farms where workers' human rights are independently monitored and protected, and the long-term interests of farm owners are supported. Join us to learn more about the rampant abuses that workers face on dairy farms and the powerful organizing they are doing to improve conditions and protect their rights. During this organizing meeting, you will hear directly from farmworkers, learn about the Milk with Dignity Program, take collective action, and gain the tools you need to join this inspiring struggle for human rights.
