“This is an effort to make sure that folks, at least for maybe a week, can have more affordable food and access to food for their families in the Columbus area,” said Georgia AFL-CIO Community Labor Organizer Addie Jewell Britt. “And to make sure that families and workers know that labor, faith and community, when our government can’t do it, or rather, when government chooses not to do it, we’re going to be the front line folks that make sure it happens.”
Political leaders like Congressman Sanford Bishop and Representative Carolyn F. Hugley made appearances at the event. Congressman Bishop rallied the crowd together and spoke on the importance of voting and making sure workers get the help they deserve.
