“Just because it’s vegan, doesn’t mean it’s cruelty free”

Undocumented workers, poor people of all citizenship status, children, global workers all poured their blood and sweat into getting you some of those products for awful wages, so be sure to do your research before you claim your diet is ethical, okay?

I want that same energy you have for the cute cows & chickens (chickens kinda scare me tbh) to also go to those people out there bringing you your blood red strawberries and tear-stained blueberry.

If you are not advocating for the fair treatment of workers in the fields, and if you’re making purchases from places that have not signed the Fair Food Program, then you’re contributing to the neglect, harassment, and physical/sexual assault of farmworkers.

⚠️ making corrections ⚠️

This was originally written when I encountered people who were both vegan and racist/anti-immigrant

This is not a generalization or target on all vegans (just the racist ones)

If you have money 💰 to buy produce or meat, please LOOK INTO THE COMPANY

Cruelty-free: no animals harmed

Fair-trade: people treated well

Fair Food Program: intended to protect farm workers from rape, harassment, and assault while working

Places to Boycott & use your purchasing power

Wendy’s

Taco Bell

McDonald’s

Olive Garden

Publix

PLEASE ADD ON TO UNETHICAL PLACES TO AVOID!

I realize that sometimes people don’t have money to be picky. Please, just share the word if you can.

Thank you to everyone who helped me grow & learn today ❤️

In light of Wendy's sponsoring the Critical Role oneshot this Thursday, please remember that Wendy's has still refused to join the Fair Foods Program and their initiative to buy produce only from farms that pay fair wages to their workers and abide by labor standards.

Why boycott Wendy’s? Ask women farmworkers.

The time is up for corporate leaders who turn a blind eye to gender-based violence and labour abuses in their supply chain. #Wendys #BoycottWendys #FreedomFast

United States (OpenDemocracy) – From 11 to 15 March, Florida farmworkers from the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW) and their allies will hold a five-day Freedom Fast outside the Manhattan office of Nelson Peltz, Wendy’s largest shareholder and chair of its board of directors. They will demand that Wendy’s joins other fast food chains in supporting the Fair Food Program, a CIW initiative that…

Something's really fishy about how if you look up "fair food program" on tumblr mobile it'll let you scroll all the way down to the image of "boycott Wendy's" but not far down enough to reblog before shooting back up to the top. I know it sounds like a conspiracy or something but literally no other tag I try does that. I wonder if Wendy's is a sponsor? Anyway, hopefully you can read this handout I got. The Coalition of Immakolee Workers, the people that pick the tomatoes that go just about everywhere in the country, has started the Fair Food Program and has gotten major chains like Walmart, McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Burger King to sign on to an agreement saying they'll pay one more cent per pound of produce so that the workers can get just a little closer to the poverty line for working 12 hour days. (You know those #boycottDriscoll posts going around? This is kinda like that.) Anyway, Wendy's hasn't yet signed on. They actually chose to go with a major Mexican vendor notorious in the past three years for worker abuse, slavery, and sexual violence. So, yeah. #boycottWendys

Boycott Publix

I just watched a documentary, and instantly wanted to do more research into the “Fair Food Program”.  If you have not heard of them, check out their link, HERE. Their documentary on Netflix is titled “Food Chains”. Walmart along with some other food companies have signed their agreement. It does not entitle much. It requires companies to not buy from organizations that sexual harass their employees, and refuse to pay them fairly. While this organization originated in Florida, with tomato pickers, they also want to raise awareness for other farmers around the world. Whether you shop at Publix, or not, please sign their petition, and spread the word!

Do I need to pay to be a member of PIPs online rewards community?

Of course not! In fact, you get PIPs (Positive Impact Points) just for joining!

And once inside PIPs ‘world of good,’ you’ll find it’s not unlike a treasure hunt with every action unlocking even more PIPs reward points. We’ve partnered with the most responsible companies and NGOs (100+) so that you can earn rewards on every positive impact action you make simply by clicking through pipsrewards.com to their online store, service center or activist site before taking your action.

You can use those PIPs in countless ways - to download music or books, for discounts on everything from cool new gadgets to fitness club memberships and responsibly made products. You can also pool your PIPs and donate them to a cause of your choice or micro-invest them in awesome projects locally and globally. It's a total win-win - good in, good out.

I just purchased some eco-friendly toilet paper, kitty litter and gluten-free snacks from Vine and racked up 275 PIPs.

What I really love about the PIPs Rewards platform is I can set up an auto-pledge so that a portion of the PIPs I earn is automatically set aside for a charity of my choosing. I set it up to give 10% of all the PIPs I earn to Fair Food Program. It’s great: My regular PIPs activity adds up and Fair Food Program reaps the benefits. Oh, I benefit too, with a double jolt of good karma.

Some members have noticed that certain products in the PIPs Rewards catalog cost more than they cost elsewhere. We do the best we can to find the best deals on products featured in our catalog, but we are limited in some cases by the affiliate programs with which we partner.  Can’t really explain it but Amazon, for example, won’t let us award PIPs to shoppers we direct to them. So we have no Amazon products in our Earn catalog.

We can’t stop you from seeking the lowest price on a product you need, but hope you'll see the value in what the PIPs platform offers. We curate all our offerings so you know that this action or that service delivers a positive impact. In addition, we do everything we can to provide you with products at the best price. And we also offer many of those same products in our redemption catalog, often at discount, so you can really save when using your PIPs to purchase them.

Hope you’ll agree PIPs Rewards really delivers on value to you and the planet.  Join today (yes, for FREE), and start adding up the PIPs. The world will thank you.
