Organizer Deployment: Chicago, San Francisco & Minneapolis here we come!



Value [the] Meal is taking off! This week, three top-notch organizers, Leila, Ruby and Sarah hit the ground running in Chicago, San Francisco and Minneapolis respectively. Leila hails from Maine and has organized around international human rights and is eager to hit the ground running in McDonald’s hometown. Ruby joined us from San Francisco and is looking forward to returning to her home turf to activate folks in her home community and Sarah, a New England native, joins us from environmental organizing and is looking forward to Retiring Ronald! These energetic, determined and passionate activists will recruit and establish Action Committees focused on rolling out and galvanizing support for Value [the] Meal!

As a refresher, Value [the] Meal: Challenging the Corporate Abuse of Our Food, calls on McDonald’s and other Fast-Food giants to:

• Stop fast food advertising, promotion and sponsorship that appeals to children and teenagers
• Stop manipulating public health policy and nutrition science
• Provide complete, accurate and non-promotional information about the health risks of fast food
• Reduce the negative health impacts of fast food
• Stop interfering with people’s right to decide whether or where fast food will be sold in their communities
• Pay the high costs of health care associated with diet-related diseases



Leila, Ruby and Sarah all say “If you live near one of our cities, please get involved!”

These hard-workers will keep us posted on events and other ways you can get involved, so keep an eye out for updates in your area! To learn more about our Action Committees, email info@stopcorporateabuse.org or click on your city: Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis
