For the past three years, farmworkers from Immokalee, FL and their allies have crossed the country, carrying the truth about the sweatshop conditions behind the tomatoes in Taco Bell's products to communities from Tallahassee to San Francisco. Each year, the CIW's Truth Tours have culminated in major actions -- including a 10-day hunger strike in 2003 and a three-day march in 2004 -- outside of Taco Bell's global headquarters in Irvine, California. The 2005 Taco Bell Truth Tour is now on the road, bringing the truth about farmworker poverty to the home of fast-food profits, Yum Brands Inc., the parent company of Taco Bell.
