We just got back from #MontroseLandxSeaFilmFestival, Scotland's Environmental Film Festival 🌊

Our screening of THE PICKERS ensured the rights of migrant agricultural workers in Europe were seen as a key issue to consider as part of discussions about environmental transformation 🍊

We’re taling the message of THE PICKERS from Maastricht, the birthplace of the modern EU, right to its centre in Brussels.

We’re joining the #BackToTheFuture March by @foeeurope.bsky.social & others, and showing the film along the way:

The Meet THE PICKERS Tour delivered fair oranges to @oxfam-de.bsky.social in Berlin!

Oxfam volunteers across Germany and Spain are hosting screenings to explore this crucial topic. Will you join them? campaign.thepickers.org/host

With impact campaigns, you can easily and happily stay in an activist bubble.
The challenge always is to reach beyond that.

For THE PICKERS, we drove our refrigerated van with fairly picked oranges to the global headquarters of ALDI Süd in Salzburg to show them the film and talk about our campaign.

We took fair oranges to ALDI! 🍊

We contacted several major supermarkets asking them to meet with us as part of the Meet THE PICKERS Tour. ALDI South welcomed us to show the film and ask the question: ‘How can we ensure that our food is not produced through exploitation?’

We shouldn’t have to question whether our food is exploitation free, that is why we demand these 10 essential guarantees for migrant workers. Add your name here: campaign.thepickers.org/fairpick

During the Meet THE PICKERS Tour we're distributing over 3000 oranges & asking people to support a FAIR PICK.

The unusual thing about these oranges is that they're exploitation free because they are from SOS Rosarno, featured in The Pickers documentary that inspired this campaign.

The Meet THE PICKERS Tour visited the largest ghetto in Europe, near Borgo Mezzanone in Puglia.

We met with Yvan Sagnet who told us about the crucial work of No Cap who are moving from protest to proposal – offering better jobs to workers

#WeWantAFAIRPICK - Do we need a FAIR PICK certification label like Fair Trade or Organic?

We've handed out fairly produced oranges to folks like @publiceye.ch and hosted screenings including the one @ethzurich.bsky.social as the Meet THE PICKERS Tour travelled across Switzerland 🍊

In Basel we met with our partners from Swiss Fair Trade hearing about their important work, including how we can safeguard and argue for legislation that effectively protects human rights.

We had another packed screening in a temple of good food, the Markthalle Basel.

During our time in Geneva The Meet THE PICKERS Tour has met key people and organisations working to eliminate the exploitation of migrant workers.

Watch today's update on the tour to follow the Meet THE PICKERS Campaign progress 👇🍊

Our 'Meet THE PICKERS Tour' continues!

In Nyon and Geneva, we met up with partners that were crucial to the inception of this campaign: @fifdh.bsky.social and The StoryBoard Collective.

Together, #WeWantAFairPick. You can add your voice here: campaign.thepickers.org/fairpick.

#WeWantAFAIRPICK

There are more than 2 million #migrant agricultural workers in Europe—essential to our food system but often exploited through poor working conditions and low wages.

🚜We’re partnering with @filmcampaign.org on 'The Pickers' to demand change!

For us, 2025 will be the year of THE PICKERS – the migrant workers who pick our daily fruit and veg who need to see their living and working conditions radically improved.

Here's why:
campaign.thepickers.org

It was a special day today – International Migrants Day – to announce that we'll be producing an impact campaign around the film THE PICKERS in 2025. The documentary follows migrant workers in Europe who pick our daily fruit and veg – under precarious conditions.
