Leicester WDM and the Knighton Justice Group held a joint stall in Queen’s Rd on Saturday 1st April.
Thank-you to everyone who came along to chat to us, sign a petition, sample banana cakes … and try a tasty Fairtrade Banana. We are very grateful to Sainsbury’s on Queen’s Rd who donate the bananas. In two hours we gave away 200 bananas to passers by … and 165 people signed a petition to Vince Cable.
In this petition we call on the Secretary of State for Business to urgently investigate the grave impact of unsustainable supermarket pricing practices. Action is needed to protect the millions of poor farmers and workers who grow the UK’s favourite fruit.
