Fwd: This Monday Say No to Wal-Mart Supercenters

[Agatha Wein]

Hey guys, FYI.  It would be awesome if someone could make it to protest this one.  I'm a little far away.  And the Wal-Mart effect is really creepy here.  So, try to keep them at bay for as long as possible.

June 1, 1007 This Monday, Say No to Wal-Mart Supercenters! Attention supporters of good jobs: Your voice is needed at City Hall on Monday to support a ban on "big-box" supercenters in San Diego.   The City Council's second and final vote to approve the ban is scheduled for this Monday at 2 p.m. and our continued support is crucial!  The Council tentatively approved a ban on the giant "big box" stores with a 5-3 vote in November.  Wal-Mart is expected to bus in paid protesters Monday in an effort to reverse the decision.   Wal-Mart notoriously pays low wages, doesn't provide health coverage, and attempts to put more responsible competitors out of business.  City Council Hearing Monday June 4, 2007 2pm 202 C St. 11th Floor, San Diego, CA 92101 Even if you can't attend the meeting, use the links below to send a quick email or call  your Councilmember expressing your support for the ban. If you can attend the Council meeting, please fill out a speaker slip either to address the Council or to state that you support the ban but don't wish to speak.
