CAMPAIGN TO STOP KILLER COKE TO PROTEST AT COKE ANNUAL MEETING:
MOBILE BILLBOARDS IN ATLANTA AREA WILL HIGHLIGHT COKE’S ABUSES
The Campaign to Stop Killer Coke will begin protest activities around
Coca-Cola’s annual shareholders meeting beginning with a mobile
billboard truck, which will be traveling throughout the Atlanta,
Georgia, area beginning April 21 for five days, highlighting Coke’s
labor, human rights and environmental abuses.
Two billboards, which are 10’ x 23’ and one which is 5’ x 3’,
illustrate the abuses and promote the www.KillerCoke.org website. One
large billboard depicts a Killer-Cola can and states “Unthinkable!
Undrinkable! Murders in Colombia, Child Labor in El Salvador, Stealing
and Polluting Water in India, El Salvador and Mexico.” (See this
billboard ( http://www.killercoke.org/dont.drink.kc.zero.billboard.jpg
))
The second large billboard depicts a vending machine with the words
“Killer-Cola: The Drink that Represses!” and satirizes Coke’s
Coca-Cola Zero ad campaign by stating “Don’t Drink Killer Coke
Zero: Zero Ethics! Zero Justice! Zero Health!” (See this billboard (
http://www.killercoke.org/unthinkable!undrinkable!billboard.jpg (http://www.killercoke.org/unthinkable%21undrinkable%21billboard.jpg) ))
The smaller billboard, “Killer Coke Casualties: Murdered Colombian
Union Leaders” is a memorial to SINALTRAINAL union leaders Isidro
Gil and Adolfo Munera, highlighted in lawsuits brought against The
Coca-Cola Co. and its bottlers in Colombia. (See this billboard (
http://www.killercoke.org/killercoke.casualties.billboard.jpg ))
Supporters of the Campaign will raise issues inside the annual
meeting regarding Coke’s worldwide abuses. A small peaceful protest
will take place at Gwinnett Center, the site of Coke’s annual
meeting located at 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth, Georgia.
“Along with a host of other groups, the Campaign to Stop Killer
Coke plans to challenge Coca-Cola’s CEO Muhtar Kent and its board of
directors on the company’s repeated lies, criminal and other
misconduct,” said Ray Rogers, Director of the Campaign to Stop
Killer Coke.
