El verano casi termina, pero no terminan las acciones en campaña leche con dignidad y los festejos que habrá este año. Primero, vamos a estar desfilando el Domingo 18 de Septiembre junto con PRIDE “Centro de orgullo” por la solidaridad que han declarado al rechazar patrocinio de Hannford hasta que el supermercado acceda a hablar con los trabajadores lecheros. Después vamos a celebrar el 5to aniversario del programa LcD con una buena fiesta y buenxs cantantes el 24 de Septiembre; todo esto mientras seguimos tomando acciones importantes para llamar a Hannaford a sentarse para firmar el programa leche con dignidad. Kike Balcazar.

Summer is almost over, but the actions in the Milk with Dignity campaign and the celebrations that will take place this year are not over. First, we will be parading on Sunday September 18 along with PRIDE "Center of Pride" for the solidarity they have declared in rejecting sponsorship from Hannford until the supermarket agrees to speak with the dairy workers. Then we are going to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the LcD program with a good party and good singers on September 24 ; all this while we continue to take important actions to call Hannaford to sit down and sign the milk with dignity program.
