Wal-Mart Action for Atenco!

Today here in Tucson there's a (hopefully) gran manifestación at a Wal-Mart. I've helped organize it with Dry River, local Mecha folks, and some earth firsters. It's designed to bring attention to Wal-Mart's connection to the recent events in Atenco, Mexico. This sounds like a unique approach. Wal-Mart Watch mentions the connection on their site, and some other stories echo it, all based on El Sup's assertions. But no one else seems to be taking him up on it. If you know of any other activists putting pressure on Wal-Mart over the Atenco thing, let me know.

Anyway, it should be interesting. We made lots of signs and banners yesterday and there seems to be lots of interest. and we have lots of informational flyers to hand out.

i'll have a report later today or tommorrow morning, unless i get arrested, i guess, tho i dont plan on that happening...
