The Alliance is an offshoot of the successful Delmarva Poultry Justice Alliance which was featured on 60 Minutes in December. The Alliance seeks to create a sustainable model for the production of poultry in Georgia. As part of that model, the Alliance advocates for poultry regulations that protect the environment, good wages, benefits and a safe work environment for the industry’s processing workers and catchers, and contracts that are fair to the small farmers who raise the chickens.
