Telling Truth to Power

So recently we sent our members an e-mail telling them about the New York Times story that totally ignores all your hard work. We asked them to e-mail the New York Time and tell them they'd gotten the story wrong, that the movement is far from 'slowing down' and that Wal-Mart doesn't get a free pass just because they say so. Some of your fellow activist's letters to the New York Times are below, but I want to encourage all of you to click on the box to the right and write your own letter to the New York Times. The real story wasn't told by The Times, but your voice can still be heard. Write The New York Times today. Tell them you have not stopped working to make Wal-Mart a responsible corporation.


Here are some of the letters already sent:


K. B. writes
As a lifetime reader and long time subscriber of the NYT, I have loved it for it's "liberal bias." You have traveled so far from your roots. First backing the Iraq War, now becoming corporate hacks. The article today on Walmart was such a disservice to the workers and labor in general. Those of us who care about the workers have NOT given up the fight. I will not shop in Walmart. And I am getting close to giving up on the NYT.

T. K. writes This is sad. A lot of people are trying to affect positive change. It is truly unfortunate your publication has chosen to dismiss our efforts and promote the corporation over the individual.
S. S. writes I, for one, am not done being part of the citizens of this state, and this country, to protest WalMart's ongoing abuses.
J. L. writes Both of my children have worked at WalMart. I know what this company is up to and let me tell you, "it ain't over 'til it's over". This is just the beginning of the fight.
E. B. writes Wal-Mart still has a huge sex discrimination suit pending. More workers may be offered health insurance, but that doesn't help if they can't afford the premiums. We know too many workers who still have only part-time hours. The Times has an obligation to tell the whole story.
