So as you guys know, Wake Up Wal-Mart is in the midst of our Holiday Campaign. We've been highlighting Wal-Mart employees, collecting money, handing out fliers, and, this week, we're holding candlelight vigils all across the country. Starting today we've got more than 65 candlelight vigils in front of Wal-Mart stores everywhere from Philadelphia to Detroit to Framingham, Massachusetts to Grand Rapids, Minnesota to Tacoma, Washington.

At all of the actions local Wake Up Wal-Mart activists will light candles on behalf of the 2 million Wal-Mart employees in hopes that the company change its ways. Many of the vigils will also honor the memory of Jdimytai Damour, the Wal-Mart employee who was trampled to death on 'Black Friday' at a store in New York. In addition to activists and concerned citizens, local faith leaders will be speaking at many of the vigils, asking Wal-Mart to be a better neighbor this holiday season. Keep an eye out for a Vigil in your area.

Please support our efforts to change Wal-Mart for the better this holiday season by spreading the word and donating to our Holiday Campaign.
