ACT FOR CHANGE ACTIVISM UPDATE:

Don't Buy Wal-Mart for the Holidays

Wal-Mart engages in some of the worst labor practices in the country: paying its employees substandard wages, forcing unpaid overtime on its workers and refusing to provide affordable health insurance.

This holiday season, pledge not to shop at Wal-Mart and to ask your friends and families not to buy you gifts from Wal-Mart until the chain:

*Pays its one million workers a living wage
*Provides affordable health insurance to its employees
*Stops discriminating against women
*Stops attacking employees who want to be represented by a union
*Ceases forcing unpaid overtime on its employees
*Stops pressuring suppliers to lower their labor costs.

Tell Wal-Mart that until it changes its ways, you will take your holiday shopping to other stores and will urge your friends and family to do the same.

[Note ... A message from MoveOn.org website]

Over the last eight months, we've fought to stop President Bush from getting rid of overtime and to stop the FCC from changing its media ownership rules. Amazingly, we've won. But today, both of these victories are at risk. Bush is now pushing Congress to approve one of the biggest spending bills in its history -- 820 billion dollars. He's also cutting lots of last-minute, back-room deals that would reverse our victories on overtime and on media ownership, while taking corporate giveaways to a whole new level. And he's trying to force votes on this 400 page bill before Democrats have had a chance to read it.

Join us in calling on Congress to stop this bill, at:
