*Green Sunday* Is Wal-Mart really THAT bad? Wal-Mart,
the largest company in the world and the worst of the Big Box
Offenders, is in the midst of a huge expansion campaign in the East
Bay. A “stealth” Wal-Mart just opened in the Oakland Port area, 5
more are on the books for nearby Solano County. Now,
a new anti-Wal-Mart film by award-winner Robert Greenwald (“Outfoxed”,
“Uncovered”, “Unconstitutional”) is being released to the public on
November 13 – and the GPAC’s “Green Sunday” will be among the
first to show the film in the Bay Area. Don’t miss this FREE (donations accepted) showing of “WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price”, on Sunday, November 13th, at 5:00 pm, at the Niebyl-Proctor Library, 6501 Telegraph Ave (at Alcatraz), north Oakland “This is a movie about American families and American ideals, a
movie about one corporation crushing the American dream for millions of
ordinary people – right or left, republican or democrat, red or blue,”
said Greenwald. “Wal-Mart is systematically destroying the fabric of
our nation, pretending to be the great American workplace while at the
same time showing thinly veiled contempt for working families, small
business owners, and the very people it employs.”
WAL-MART
takes the viewer on a journey into the lives of families struggling to
fight against a goliath. Current and former employees, managers
and executives divulge the corporation’s inner-workings. WAL-MART is
based on individual human beings, all over the world, at all levels of
society, telling their story in very personal terms.
Beverages and snacks will be provided.
