Nike Vigil/Protest
February 23, 2002
Join us at 12:00 p.m. at the Nike Factory Outlet store in Windsor (1555 Talbot Rd.) to protest Nike's unethical labour practices. This protest is a part of our "No Sweat" Campaign and is a completely non-violent attempt. We are also sending a petition to Nike requesting that they change the way they do things overseas. If you would like to help us collect petition signatures, please email betterworldyouth@yahoo.ca and request a copy of it. We are also looking for people to organise protest in their own areas at Nike stores. Please email us if you are interested and we'll help you out. Thanks everyone for your help!
McDonald's Abolishment Campaign
November, 2001 - ??
Because we work for improvement in the animal, human, and environmental community, our anti-McDonald's Campaign is an important one. It is our goal to educate as many people as possible about the horrors and lies surrounding McDonald's, about the problems the corporation causes around the world. Please visit www.mcspotlight.org for more information about McDonald's or CLICK HERE to learn more about our Campaign.
