Fair Food Nation, today is the day to demand Wendy’s finally do the right thing to protect farmworkers and join the Presidential Medal-winning Fair Food Program! 

In tomorrow’s annual general meeting, Wendy’s shareholders and executives will hear from longtime CIW ally Kerry Kennedy, President of RFK Human Rights, whose pre-recorded speech in favor of Worker-driven Social Responsibility lays out a compelling case for the urgent need to sure up the fast-food giant’s supply chain from human rights risks. We are excited to share that speech with you below, as well as 5 ways you can pressure Wendy’s today.

Ready to go? Here are 5 ways YOU can join engage Wendy’s today. You can also click here for a complete digital action toolkit, which includes automated ways to reach out to Wendy’s.

1. Call Wendy’s executives

Call: Heidi Schauer, Vice President of Communications at (614) 764-3368, and Aaron Broholm, Head of Investor Relations at (614) 764-3345

Use our suggested script for your conversation: 

“Hello. My name is [insert name] and I am calling as a consumer to inform you that I will be joining farmworkers and consumers of conscience in boycotting Wendy’s until it joins the Fair Food Program.

During this year’s Annual General Meeting, Wendy’s shareholders will be presented with a proposal requesting that the Board evaluate how worker-driven social responsibility, which includes programs like the Fair Food Program, might secure its supply chain and protect it from modern-day slavery, child labor, sexual assault, and other abuses.

Unlike Wendy’s current unenforceable Supplier Code of Conduct, the Fair Food Program is proven effective in preventing these human rights risks, through real enforcement mechanisms. I look forward to the day when Wendy’s prioritizes these concerns. Until then, I will be joining the hundreds of thousands of consumers boycotting Wendy’s.”
