Anyone who made it out to the Coalition of Immokalee Workers protest on Saturday could tell you how just the struggle of these workers is. Because today there is a resolution being discussed in Student Senate that would help these people in their struggle, I hope we all have a chance to make it at 7:30 p.m. in Reitz Union Room 282 for a public debate so we can speak out for this righteous issue.
