Alert: Join me at the Virtual Protest for Justice at Smithfield  

Focus:Workers Rights
Action Request:Other
Location:United States


On September 29th, workers and activists will be joining together in New York City to protest Smithfield Packing's terrible treatment of its employees.

You can be a part of this important protest without even coming to New York!  Join the Virtual Protest organized by the Justice at Smithfield campaign and send a message to Smithfield from the comfort of your home or office that you're marching alongside them in spirit.

What's the action?  Well, Smithfield is watching, and the campaign doesn?t want to tip them off.  But it's easy to do, won't cost you anything, and will make a big difference for thousands of workers currently being abused.  Sign up and they?ll e-mail you on the 29th with all the details.



They need 4,000 people to join the Virtual Protest to get Smithfield to listen.  I?ve already signed up ? will you join me in helping to win Justice at Smithfield?
