End Corporate Dominance

It gobbles whole mountains and forests, drinks rivers dry, spews toxic waste and enslaves whole populations. It has all the rights of a citizen but few of the limitations. It crosses national borders as if they were cobwebs. It is immortal and can therefore amass wealth and power beyond the capabilities of mere people. It has powers that dwarf and control governments. It controls the newspapers, radio and television and so it controls the "truth". It controls human access to food, water, shelter, employment and energy.

Are we talking about some sort of god?? No, we're talking about the corporation.

Why do we allow an inanimate thing to have so much power over our lives and the fate of the entire planet? This is what the campaign to End Corporate Dominance is about - making our efforts directed at the root of the problem not just the symptoms.

October 1997 will see groups across the world targeting their least favourite corporate plunderer. Whether your group chooses Shell, Nike, Mitsubishi, whether your site is the corporate headquarters, or the Director's private residence, corporations around the world will feel the united rage.
