TAKE IT TO SAMSUNG


Samsung makes electronics like TV's and cell phones.  They also have a construction division and they are the lead contractor building the Navy base on Jeju Island in South Korea.

Samsung hires thugs who push-and-shove and sometimes beat up the villagers who are non-violently fighting to save their way of life.  On one occasion I heard that the thugs had broken into villagers homes and cars and left shit - yes shit - as a way to intimidate them.

On June 9 a protest is being organized in London, England at a Samsung store.  This is a big step in the movement as it connects the corporate policy to the military policy.  Think about doing something similar in your part of the world. 

A mighty force is developing in many cities as Korean citizens are teaming with local peace activists to work together on this issue.  Build it and they will come.
