Smithfield-Free Ad Campaign Launches Thursday

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Local labor and community activists will kick off a major ad blitz against Smithfield Foods this Thursday at 11:30A. The blitz will include bus and metro station ads and a radio and phone messaging campaigning that will feature actor Danny Glover. The ads will detail Smithfield’s abuses of workers and urge DC-area consumers to consider alternatives to Smithfield products in their local supermarkets. The blitz coincides with the launch of a community solidarity campaign last Friday. Click here for details on how to get involved in the solidarity campaign.
