Help Us Stop Wal-Mart

One of the most important social justice battles in many years is taking 
place right now in Los Angeles. And we need your help.

Wal-Mart has announced plans to build 40 supercenters in California, with 
one of the first slated for Inglewood. These massive outlets have a 
devastating impact on communities, driving down wages and pushing out local 
businesses. Cities around the country bear witness to the Wal-Mart 
effect--good jobs replaced by poverty-wage jobs, full-time workers 
resorting to public assistance, thriving business districts replaced by 
empty storefronts.

The Wal-Mart effect extends far beyond our borders, to factories in Asia 
and Latin America where workers produce Wal-Mart merchandise in exchange 
for sweatshop wages. Here at home, Wal-Mart has amassed one of the worst 
civil rights records in the nation and has a notorious zero-tolerance 
policy for union organizing.

Inglewood is now ground zero for Wal-Mart's expansion into Los Angeles. 
LAANE and local Inglewood activists have filed a lawsuit to stop a Wal-Mart 
sponsored ballot initiative that would allow the company to build a 
supercenter in Inglewood with no environmental review or local government 
oversight.

But lawsuits are expensive and we are fighting one of the richest companies 
in the world. We need the help of 1,000 friends making donations of $25 or 
$50 to carry through this legal effort and conduct a grassroots public 
education campaign.

Wal-Mart has already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on its ballot 
initiative. Our court date is this month and we need your help now to 
continue this fight. Please make your contribution to the fight to stop 
Wal-Mart today. Click on this link to make a donation. (LAANE is a 
nonprofit organization and contributions to LAANE are tax deductible.)

Thank you in advance for your vital contribution in the fight to stop 
Wal-Mart. Please tell a friend.

Madeline Janis-Aparicio, LAANE Executive Director
Vivian Rothstein, LAANE Deputy Director
