Protest Coke Oct. 17

CokaCola is the leading employer in So.Africa and cutting vital health benefits to African employees. Many employers will follow Coke - if they are not stopped!
October 17, 2002, Join Health GAP, ACT UP, and AIDS activists around
the globe to demand Coca-Cola and other multinational corporations
pay for AIDS treatment for workers living with HIV/AIDS in developing
countries.

Multinational corporations like Coke are making a killing in
countries in Africa and throughout the Third World. Coke is the
largest foreign private sector employer in Africa, employing about
100,000 workers.

An international coalition of activists--from Accra to Manhattan,
from Casablanca to Oakland, from Harare to Atlanta--will target
Coca-Cola with simultaneous protests, pickets, press conferences,
marches and more on October 17, for Coke's refusal to pay for HIV
medicines for sick workers in developing countries, particularly
African countries.
