| Take Action Now to Stop Israel's Attacks on Gaza  Since November 8, Israel has killed at least 21 Palestinians in the occupied and besieged Gaza Strip, the majority of whom are civilians, including children. In addition, 3 Israeli civilians have been killed by a Palestinian rocket. Israel's attacks against the Gaza Strip are being committed with U.S. weapons given to Israel as military aid by the U.S. taxpayer. These weapons are being misused by Israel in violation of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act to commit grave human rights abuses of Palestinians. We're asking you to take three actions right now:
 Here we go again. The frenzy to buy is about to begin when corporate stores are looking to make big profits forcing their employees to work long hours and miss holiday family time. It's not that the employees don't want to work, but what about living wages, decent working conditions, good benefits like healthcare and basic respect. Perhaps the most egregious example of worker abuse is Wal-Mart where some workers after three years only make $8.90 an hour and healthcare deductions will increase in January with no raise in wages. Workers are literally striking back and they need our help.Stand with Wal-Mart strikers on Black Friday. Support these workers in their efforts to take care of their families and work in a safe and respectful environment. Check out these sites to find out how you can help. |
