Show solidarity I am calling for activists, almost activists, a little be activsits, activists-look-alike, activists with a passion, activists with no passion at all, activists with some passion, and of course non-activist, advocates, professional and non-professional advocates to come out and join me for a V-day action and solidarity. Please join me for either the press conference and/or the vigil on the V-day

Together we can do it, together we can make it happen, so let's make it happen! Peace and Justice for all!! Alba M. 212-729-3086

Join the international movement for justice and human rights against the Coca-Cola Company for murder, torture, pollution, and union-busting throughout the world!

We are preparing for what we believe will be a turning point in the campaign to hold Coke accountable for violence in Colombia as well as now in Turkey, India, and Indonesia. Coke has been doing everything it can to not only discredit the union Sinaltrainal in Colombia but also deflate the global student movement. Coke's arrogance and blatant negligence has only expanded the campaign and fueled student militancy on campus. Victory is near and we need your support!

Oct. 26 will see the consolidation of student movements in the U.S., Canada, & the UK in the first-ever International Week of Action Against Coke & For Human Rights!
Oct. 26 will see the launch of a North American Speaking Tour with Sinaltrainal Vicepresident William Mendoza and United Students Against Sweatshops to hit schools and communities from Miami to Seattle, Toronto to Los Angeles, Chicago to Atlanta! Oct. 26 will see the public filing of a historic lawsuit by the International Labor Rights Fund against the Coca-Cola Company for torture and union busting in Turkey! At the Corporate Office of the Coca-Cola Company in NYC, Oct. 26 will see people of conscience and action, including workers from Colombia, Turkey, & the U. S.,
gather to say "Stop Killer Coke" and proclaim V-Day -"Victory over Coke Day!"
