Staten Island is not enough, Wal-Mart now has its eyes set on Coney Island. There’s a new community group fighting to keep Wal-Mart out of Brooklyn, Wal-Mart No Way. They’re raising money to put anti-Wal-Mart ads on teevee during the mayoral race. In fact, they’re having a fundraiser, um, tomorrow (details below). If you can attend, please do. If you can afford a donation, please be generous.
But there’s a far more fun way you can get involved in Wal-Mart No Way. They will be shooting their ad this coming Saturday afternoon, from about 4:00 pm until aboout 8:00 pm. If you can spare the time and want to wear a blue smock and scream and yell a lot, e-mail me for details.
Fundraiser to Stop Wal-Mart
Tuesday, August 2nd from 6 – 8:30pm
59 W. 12th Street #11C, between 5th and 6th Avenues
Wal-Mart wants to get into New York City – badly. They’re running television and print ads right now about how great it would be to have Wal-Marts in all five boroughs. So we’re answering with our own 30-second TV ad.
Although everyone involved in our group is volunteering their time and talent, we need your help to pay for everything from the lighting equipment to the air time on NY1.
For this event, we are asking for $50 – $100 per person, based on what you can honestly afford. You can donate here now: www.wal-martnoway.org. If you can come to the fundraiser, please RSVP to pete.sikora@gmail.com Thank you for your support – together we can, and will, stop them.
