DESCRIPTION:On the Saturday before Thanksgiving, people in 16 countries and 17 states 
 within the United States will participate in an international day of action 
 against big box chain stories. We’re going to remind shoppers to vote 
 with their dollars AGAINST worker rights violations, unsustainable 
 distribution practices and the destruction of local independent businesses 
 and FOR human rights, workers’ rights, respect for communities and the 
 environment.\n\nIn San Francisco – where we’ve succeeded in keeping 
 most big box stores out – we’ll take on two chain stores for their 
 disrespect of workers at home and abroad.  First we’ll flyer and picket 
 at Bristol Farms, an upscale grocery store chain that is anti-union. Then 
 we’ll head across the street to the Gap, which owns more than 3,000 
 stores worldwide, to protest the ongoing use of sweatshop labor by U.S. 
 retailers.\n\nSponsored by Global Exchange and California Healthy 
 Communities Network. For more information, contact Ruben Garcia, 
 415-279-3174, ruben@globalexchange.org.\n
