All Out to Killer Coke's Global Shareholder Meeting!

Join the international movement for justice and human rights against The Coca-Cola Company for murder, torture, pollution, theft, and union-busting throughout the world! Come demand Coke end its deceit and violence.

We have reached a turning point in the campaign to hold Coke accountable for human rights violations in Colombia as well as India, Turkey, Indonesia, and Guatemala. Coke's arrogance and blatant negligence have only expanded the campaign and fueled militancy on campus - victory is near and we need your support!

Steps to Take:

*Pass this message around to allies, family, classmates, partners, people of conscience who may want to join. Students and workers traveling long distances will only miss one day. Nearby allies can stay for an hour or the whole day - all are welcome!

*Let us know you are interested in coming.

*Contact media outlets in your area about your plans to join us in Wilmington and encourage them to cover the story and the broader global campaign against Coke.

*Bring your energy and tools for justice including but not limited to: video cameras, campus or local reporters, tombstones with name of victims, banners with slogans, pennants with names of campaigning schools, arm bands, megaphones, chant sheets, effigies, and so on ;)

*Remember our basic demand for peace and justice: Respect the autonomy of communities and their local demands as well as take a global initiative to protect the right to organize of its workers throughout its supply chain through a Global Human Rights Code to apply to all subcontractors, suppliers, bottlers, and distributors. Murders in Colombia, pollution and water appropriation in India, torture in Turkey, abuse in Indonesia, death threats in Guatemala, where will it end?

*Carpool Hubs & Crash Housing: If you can offer a ride or are looking for one, please follow the "Steps to Take" above and note that students in these urban areas are mobilizing by land to Wilmington - Atlanta, Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City, Amherst, Boston, Burlington, Toronto, Ottawa, Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Iowa City, Los Angeles.

Join United Students Against Sweatshops, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the India Resource Center, Corporate Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, the Polaris Institute, Corporate Accountability International, the International Labor Rights Fund, and other teammates to say:

"Justicia y Paz - Coca-Cola No Más!"
