S11 activists targets Mcdonald's

ADELAIDE — Thirty people demonstrated outside McDonald's in the Rundle Mall here on August 4 to protest against the multinational's attacks on the environment, underdeveloped nations and workers' rights. The action, organised by the Adelaide S11 Alliance, attracted 200 supportive spectators.

The S11 Alliance will be targeting different members of the World Economic Forum with protests ouside their various Adelaide headquarters each week until the forum's September summit in Melbourne. Protesters will meet at Hindmarsh Square every Friday at 5pm.

In SYDNEY, 40 activists from the Campaign Against Corporate Tyranny in Unity and Solidarity (CACTUS) organised a similar action against the corporate giant in the Pitt Street Mall here on August 12.

One activist dressed up as Ronald McDonald, the "corporate clown", while others handed out leaflets pointing out McDonald's horrendous record and building support for the S11 protests.
