DESCRIPTION:STOP MEDIA CONSOLIDATION!  SPEAK UP FOR OUR COMMUNITIES!  DEFEND WORKERS’ 
 RIGHTS!  Comcast and other giant cable monopolies control more and more of 
 our media. They dominate more than just cable--they also control how many 
 of us access the Internet. They use this power to raise rates and invade 
 customers' privacy, to harass and punish employees who speak up for their 
 rights, and to ignore the demands of the communities where they operate.  
 In the Bay Area alone, Comcast  holds over 100 cable franchises, most of 
 which function as monopolies. Comcast is holding our communities hostage. 
 Comcast has sued San Jose and Walnut Creek, has failed to pay the money it 
 owes to Sacramento, and won’t renew contracts that expired years ago in 
 dozens of other cities. Now Comcast is sponsoring a cable industry 
 convention in San Francisco, a city where cable negotiations are just 
 starting.  HOLD COMCAST ACCOUNTABLE!  We call on everyone opposed to 
 corporate domination of the media, and in support of local democracy, 
 community media, and workers' rights, to join our protest against Comcast.  
 RALLY AT THE NATIONAL CABLE  TELECOMMUNICATIONS CONVENTION!  Sunday, April 
 3, 2005, 2:00 p.m.  Moscone Center, corner 3rd and Howard Streets, San 
 Francisco  Sponsored by the Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO, 
 Media Alliance, Global Exchange and Code Pink.  For more information
