Celebrate CORPORATE CLEANUP DAY  instead of Corporate Dominated Earth Day!

December 3, 1996 will mark the second annual Corporate Cleanup Day
sponsored by Communities Concerned about Corporations. Two years ago, CCC
activists, tired of fighting the corporate dominated Earth Day blitz every
year created Corporate Cleanup Day on the anniversary of the Bhopal
Disaster to offer communites, workers , shareholders and victims of
corporate abuse a day to publicly demonstrate for their demands and for
great corporate responsibility to the community. 

Communities Concerned about Corporations is a coalition of over 800 people
representing 200+ community environmental, worker, shareholder and victims
groups concerned about corporations in the oil, chemical and paper
industries. These three industries account for most of the toxic
destruction to environmental and human health.

We believe that workers, community activists, shareholders and victims
know more, collectively, than does corporate management about the actual
operation of their toxic facilities. We seek to connect all the groups and
individuals concerned about a single corporation into a network to share
information, support each other''s demands, develop common bargaining
demands and to bargain enforceable two-party agreements to achieve goals
that far exceed the limited horizon of current regulations and law.

We currently are bargaining zero water discharge agreements with major
corporations like Alcoa, Formosa, Dupont and Union Carbide. CCC publishes
a grassroots newsletter 24 times a year, written by and for grassroots
environmental, worker, shareholder and victims activists. You can get more
