Yes! Says No To Walmart

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)

"Once they get their foothold in D.C. we can never go back," Yes! Organic Market’s Gary Cha (right) told The Fight Back reporter Pete Tucker last week. "Washington is a very small city to have four Walmarts,” said Cha.”Having just one Walmart can have a devastating effect.” Cha owns seven stores in DC. In his store on Georgia Avenue, the movie “Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price” plays continuously, part of Cha’s effort to help educate the community. “A lot of people have no idea what Walmart does… I didn’t know that much about Walmart until I started doing research and it’s very scary… I’m concerned not just for my stores, but [for] a lot of other people because this is where I’ve been doing business for thirty years. This is my home.” Click here to hear Cha and to read Tucker’s full story. - photo by Pete Tucker
