Stand in Solidarity with Colombian Flower Workers

Flowers need water to grow, not the tears of those who grow them. 111,000 flowers workers, both women and men work under unfair labor conditions and cannot fullfill their dreams.

Cut flowers are a novelty item in the US and often we forget about the people behind the pretty roses and carnations. These people are men and women that are fighting for a better life. They are fighting for an opportunity to support their families. They are demanding jobs with justice and dignity.

Send the urgent action letter below to show your support for these workers as they struggle for labor rights in the cut flower industry.

This urgent action has been sent on behalf of CACTUS (a Colombian NGO).
