"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.
We Need Your Support to Win!
