DESCRIPTION:HRC sweatshop playland, for kids of all ages!!\n\nJoin Gay Shame SF and 
 LAGAI-Queer Insurrection to ask how can the Human Rights Campaign claim to 
 be for the rights of humans, while cheering on corporate culture and 
 selling goods manufactured in sweatshops.  Contrary to popular belief, 
 capitalism has nothing to do with respect for human life.  One of the basic 
 ideas of capitalism is that profits come before everything else.  During 
 the Castro Street Fair this October 7th, 2007, kids of all ages will learn 
 to play on the sewing machine, the button press, the sequin runner, the 
 paint fume bouncy tent, and the lab rat chemical dunk.\n\nThe ultra 
 straight-washed HRC  urges us to “Buy for equality  by giving the 
 following multinational corporations a “GREEN LIGHT” for their 
 commitment to “equality”.\n\nFirst off we have Coors who have faced a 
 boycott starting in the 1970s because of their donations to the Heritage 
 Foundation, a far-right anti-gay, anti-woman organization and other attack 
 squads. Up next we have the poster child for sweatshop manufacturing, NIKE. 
 Even Clear Channel, home of homophobic DJ Michael Savage, gets a go ahead. 
 And we are reminded to fill up for equality with Shell Oil which only got a 
  85 but our heroes BP and Chevron did score a perfect 100. We cannot forget 
 the amazing work of global pharmaceutical domination with our friends over 
 at Merck who, through patented AIDS medication make  sure HIV + folks in 
 Brazil and Thailand (and even the good old USA), cannot afford Efavirenz. 
 \n\nLAGAI -- Queer Insurrection and Gay Shame dare to ask the blaringly 
 obvious question: What about queer people working in sweatshops, or working 
 class/ poor people around the world and in the US that have their lives and 
 health ripped to pieces to manufacture the HRC’s vision of equality? 
 \n\nWhen: October 7th, 2007 at 1pm.\nWhere: 19th and Castro, SF\nWhat: An 
 HRC sweatshop play land, for kids of all ages!\nContact: lagai_qi@yahoo.com
