LA Free Burma Law Hearing - Tuesday



"You helped us [people of South Africa] to become free. 
Please help Burma to become free by passing this ordinance" 
- Archbishop Desmond Tutu to members of L.A. City Council

"The Los Angeles County Federation of Labor 
calls on members of the City Council to ... take a stand 
to end massive human rights violations in Burma 
by supporting the selective purchasing legislation" 
- Miguel Contreras, Executive Secretary Treasurer, 
L.A. County Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO

Companies like UNOCAL that do business with the ruthless military regime 
in Burma should not be getting our tax dollars! Already, more than 20 
cities including New York, San Francisco and Oakland have passed Free 
Burma laws which limit city contracts with business partners of the 
illegal regime.
Come Show your Support for the 
L.A. Free Burma Ordinance 
at a City Council Committee Hearing 
12:45pm, Tuesday, October 20 
Room 317 L.A. City Hall East, 200 N. Main Street

Unocal has spent thousands of dollars on high-priced lobbyists to defeat 
the Free Burma law. This committee hearing is a critical juncture in 
the campaign.
