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.
