Introduction to the segment -- from www.democracynow.org:

A group of migrant farm workers, college students, and activists from around the country converged on the global headquarters of Taco Bell yesterday to demand that the corporation take responsibility for the sweatshop conditions in the fields where its tomatoes are grown and picked. The action capped a two-week Truth Tour across the country, organized by the Coalition for Immokalee Workers. The Coalition is a community based worker organization located in Immokalee, Florida, the heart of the country's tomato industry. The Truth Tour follows months of protests at Taco Bell restaurants across the country.
