In Brattleboro on October 24 about 50 people rallied outside the Hannaford supermarket. The goal was justice for Vermont's Latino dairy farm workers. “The supervisor on the farm where my family and I worked was a very violent man. He would force us to work extra hours, didn’t allow us to take food breaks, and constantly insulted us. My wife, my mother, and I all had to work eleven hours a day. Our housing had pest infestations, and my employer didn’t care,” one worker said on the web site of the group that organized the rally. That quote is from the group's web page at:

The group has had victories. In 2017, Migrant Justice and Ben & Jerry's signed the first ever “Milk with Dignity” agreement.
