I know it's hard to believe, but it's 'Back to School' time again. And Wal-Mart just launched its new 'Back to School' ad campaign.
We were thinking 'Back to School' is the perfect time to present Wal-Mart with its report card. On every subject - worker pay, providing health insurance, and child labor (just to name a few) - Wal-Mart is failing America.
So, this 'Back to School' season, help us send Wal-Mart 'Back to School' by pledging to buy your school supplies somewhere other than Wal-Mart this year:

The American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, and WakeUpWalMart.com have joined together to hold Wal-Mart accountable for its failing report card. Wal-Mart's failure not only hurts its workers, but it costs you, the American taxpayer, up to $2.5 billion a year!
With your help, we are building the largest grassroots campaign in history to change a corporation. But, we only have 5 weeks left to reach our goal of 150,000 supporters. Here's what you can do to help us reach our goal:
- Forward this email to everyone on your address list and ask them to sign the 'Back to School' pledge.
- Download 'Back to School' pledge cards and take them with you to sign people up at community events, your workplace and neighborhood gatherings and then send them in to the Wake-Up Wal-Mart team.
- Ask community groups for a few minutes to make a pitch on WakeUpWalMart's 'Back to School' campaign (ie. PTA meetings, church groups, environmental groups, worker rights' groups, neighborhood associations, etc.)
We are going to change Wal-Mart, but our movement begins with you. Please take a moment and sign the pledge to send Wal-Mart 'Back to School' and then join with us to get 150,000 supporters by Sept. 15th.
