Political Theater: Quarantine Wal-Mart!!!


QUARANTINE WAL-MART: NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION JUNE 2ND

Jobs with Justice, in concert with the Ruckus Society and other allies, is excited to announce a nationwide day of coordinated and creative action against Wal-Mart. On Friday, June 2, while CEO Lee Scott is convening Wal-Mart's annual shareholders meeting, thousands of concerned citizens dressed in hazmat suits and armed with yellow caution tape will be putting Wal-Mart sites across the country under "quarantine."

Activists will be targeting local Wal-Mart stores and potential sites, public officials who are on the record as supporting new Wal-Mart stores in their communities, and Wal-Mart's board members. The purpose of the day of action is to mobilize activists and to send a message to shareholders that there continues to be great concern over WM's corporate practices. We will be reaching out to allies to join in this mobilization.

JOIN THE QUARANTINE!
