Long-term participation in and solidarity with alliances of farm workers, farmers, rural women's organizations, indigenous organizations and movements are for some the key to building a movement capable of creating that Other World to which so many aspire. (A protest at McDonald's by Committee of Immokalee Workers activists and supporters is pictured.) What are the challenges and joys of living into relationships of mutuality, long-term solidarity, and informed advocacy with and on behalf of those most directly impacted by structural economic injustices, racism, exploitation and oppression? How is a tomato consumed from the garden a link in the web of transformation we all pray for? What is God asking of us now?
