CocaCola is the leading employer in So.Africa and cutting vital health benefits to African employees. Many employers will follow Coke - if they are not stopped!

October 17, 2002, Join Health GAP, ACT UP, and AIDS activists around
the globe to demand Coca-Cola and other multinational corporations
pay for AIDS treatment for workers living with HIV/AIDS in developing
countries.

Multinational corporations like Coke are making a killing in
countries in Africa and throughout the Third World. Coke is the
largest foreign private sector employer in Africa, employing about
100,000 workers.

An international coalition of activists--from Accra to Manhattan,
from Casablanca to Oakland, from Harare to Atlanta--will target
Coca-Cola with simultaneous protests, pickets, press conferences,
marches and more on October 17, for Coke's refusal to pay for HIV
medicines for sick workers in developing countries, particularly
African countries.

CMAQ: Vie associative


Quebec City collective: no longer exist.

Get involved !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
