This Saturday 12/13 there will be an action here in Bloomington in solidarity with the National Day of Resistance (#blacklivesmatter, #ShutItDown). The action will begin at 12 noon at the IU Sample Gates, followed by a march to the square downtown where there will be a die-in.

In conjunction with the striking Walmart workers on Black Friday UFCW Local 700 will be holding a rally in support of the workers  Friday November 28th 2014 at 10:00am at the Wal-Mart on State Road 45.The purpose of the rally is to draw attention to the low wages that Wal-Mart pays and the lack of FT jobs created. I realize this is short notice but this decision to add this location is based on how wonderful the Bloomington Community has been in support of worker rights.

We will be having a additional rally this Thursday in conjunction with Bloomingfoods annual meeting. We would like to see the turnout as big as possible to support the workers right to organize and the member owners who are demanding change within Bloomingfoods. Please forward this email to anyone in the community that might be interested.

In conjunction with the member/owners of Bloomingfoods “demand for change” action taking place at the board meeting  on Tuesday October 7th of next week we will be having a peaceful rally/march to the administration office that evening. The workers would like to thank the member owners for their support and continue to build support in the community for their efforts to have their union.

We will be meeting at:
