Demand change from Wal-Mart

Dear Alternet Supporter,

We are writing today to let you know about Robert Greenwald's new
documentary, "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price."

Visit http://www.walmartmovie.com/?track=alternet to find out
more.

It is at the heart of what is shaping up to be one of the largest
-- and most important -- national grassroots efforts for social
change in recent history. More importantly, this is an invitation
for you to participate in this grassroots campaign by hosting a
screening of the movie.

Problem?: Wal-Mart, the world's wealthiest company.

Solution: Millions coming together in opposition to
the most egregious corporate abuses ever
seen in America.

How?: The formation of a grassroots coalition,
across the political spectrum, to support
and organize around the upcoming
documentary, "WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low
Price," from director Robert Greenwald of
"Outfoxed" and "Uncovered."

Every new Wal-Mart store creates a ripple effect -- family
businesses close up shop, factories shut down, communities get
squeezed, and fulfilling careers are turned into nightmare
chores. Meanwhile, taxpayers are footing the bill for the
healthcare of thousands of Wal-Mart's employees, while the
company receives exorbitant tax breaks from the very same
communities Wal-Mart will eventually discard. These are blatantly
anti-family, anti-American practices.

We must demand change from Wal-Mart.

This film will be a powerful, emotional, entertaining, and visual
mechanism designed to jumpstart this effort -- demanding change
in the way the company conducts business in the U.S. and across
the globe.

Greenwald is looking for your help to make this happen; he needs
you to be his Warner Brothers and help get this film seen by
hosting a screening. "Wal-Mart," the movie, will debut not in
movie theaters, but in thousands of homes, churches and family
businesses through the week of November 13, 2005.

Please visit http://www.walmartmovie.com/host.php?track=alternet
to join us and host a screening by signing up. Pick a day that is
most convenient for you -- don't worry about the details; when we
get closer to November, we'll be back in touch.

With your support, we will give "Wal-Mart," the movie, a
citizens' premiere that will blow the lid off of traditional film
distribution and trigger a debate across our country on the true
high cost of Wal-Mart's "low prices."

Best,

Don Hazen
