POULTRY JUSTICE

is a coalition of environmentalists, poultry growers, catchers, processing plant workers, immigrant groups, members of the religious community, labor organizations and individuals working to develop leaders amongst these diverse groups to teach the skills needed to understand, convey and address the many consequences of a vertically integrated system of poultry production on Georgia's natural and human resources... The presence of the chicken industry can be seen throughout Georgia. On an average day Georgia alone produces 23 million pounds of chicken meat, 11.7 million table eggs and 7 million hatching eggs. A billion chickens are slaughtered in Georgia annually by 37,000 workers in processing plants located throughout the state.
