PROTEST AGAINST BECHTEL CORPORATION
Parking after 4pm for $2 on Hope betw 7th and 8th St Under the banner "Women and Men Say No To Military/Corporate Occupation",join a weekly protest and vigil against Bechtel Corporation. Thanks to all who have participated thus far - please come back and spread the word! As the resistance to US occupation increases daily, Bechtel, the second largest recipient of money to 'rebuild' Iraq, continues to implement US control of Iraq's resources. Bechtel is the world's largest contractor, profiteering from war, human suffering and destruction of the environment. Bechtel made cluster bombs and other weapons of mass destruction, has built nearly half of the world's nuclear power plants and has invaded Shoshone land to oversee the nuclear dumpsite at Yucca Mountain. Bechtel has a history with Peabody Coal which led to the displacement of Navaho people from Big Mountain. They have tried to privatize water in many countries; in Soweto South Africa women and men are resisting and in Bolivia Bechtel's efforts were defeated by a grassroots rebellion led by women. Women, who are hit hardest by Bechtel's genocidal policies, are holding Bechtel accountable for its crimes. It is up to us to stand with the women, children and men who are refusing occupation in Iraq, and war and occupation everywhere! Don't let Bush or Bechtel off the hook! They must be held accountable! Your presence and support are urgently needed! A weekly picket is held at Bechtel headquarters in San Francisco by the Global Women's Strike (GWS). Daily anti-war pickets are held by the GWS in Parliament Square, London, and weekly anti-war pickets are also held by GWS in Galway, Ireland. Called by the Global Women's Strike. The ongoing protest and vigil against Bechtel is supported by: Action Resource Center; ANSWER Coalition; Coalition for Educational Justice; Glendale Peace Vigil; Highland Park Peace and Justice Vigil; San Gabriel Valley Neighbors for Peace and Justice. Thanks to all the others who co-sponsored and endorsed the kickoff protest. Contact us and send a representative if your group would like to be added to the list of ongoing supporters. We invite organizations to sponsor a week or more of your choosing. Contact us for more info at tel & fax: 323-292-7405;
