International Bycott against Kymberly Clark

category international | consumer issues | other press author Saturday May 06, 2006 03:45author by Gotsamatron Report this post to the editors

Resisting the criminalisation of millions and the construction of a 2000 mile border wall

New legislation proposed in the US would turn 11 million undocumented immigrants into felons and build and 2000 mile (3,200km) security fence along the US-Mexico border. The author and sponsor of this legislation; F. James Sensenbrenner, senior Republican of Wisconsin happens to be the heir to the Kimberly Clark family fortune. Some tips for the conscientious buyer...

The following are brands produced by Kimberly Clark:

Littleswimmers

Kotex

Depend

Poise

kleenex

Scott

Pullups

Huggies

Viva

Cottonelle

The bulk of resistance against Sensenbrenner's legislation is of course coming from the enormous Mexican and Latin American population in the US, but let us not at the same time forget the undocumented Irish immigrants; their past and continuing contribution to the US and our own nation.

There is more information on the Los Angeles Indymedia site linked below and also http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=419538

"Each purchase of any one of these products puts money in Sensenbrenner's bank account from his stock holdings in the company. Sensenbrenner wants to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Now it our turn to build a wall around the Kimberly-Clark products with a 'Do Not Buy' sign. We need to tell everyone here and in Latin America to boycott Kimberly Clark products."
- the Arizona Law and Education Center, quoted in the above website.
