8th Annual Socially Responsible Wine Tasting
Honoring the Volunteer Service of
Jim Leonard and Jack Gallon
Wednesday, December 2nd, 6 pm to 8:30 pm
AFL-CIO Headquarters, 815 16th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
Please join us as a sponsor of the eighth annual Farmworker Justice Socially Responsible Wine Tasting in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday evening, December 2.
This year we will drink a toast to honor two amazing attorneys who have volunteered their time for many years to serve migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
Jack Gallon, a labor attorney in Toledo, Ohio, has volunteered as General Counsel of the Farm Labor Organizing Committee, AFL-CIO, for more than 35 years, and serves on the Farmworker Justice Board of Directors.
James B. Leonard, a retired Associate Solicitor of Labor, has volunteered as a lawyer for Farmworker Justice since November 1999.
Help us honor these dedicated attorneys who have exhibited the highest ideals of the legal profession and helped tens of thousands of farmworkers.
Enjoy a fun event, a wine tasting, that promotes vineyards where farmworkers have a voice and decent wages and working conditions. And it’s educational!
The socially responsible wine tasting is also an opportunity for you to support the important work of Farmworker Justice, empowering farmworkers to improve their wages, working conditions, occupational safety and health and immigration status.
