Killer Coke

I was very surprise by the amount of companies Coca- Cola owns; I did not know they own half the companies they do. The workshop was not very informative but it mostly focused on how many campuses have coke related products. I want to be apart of this campaign because it is very interesting to hear such negative comments about a product that almost everyone I know drinks. This company has abused its power and have cheated workers and the governments in Mexico out of hundreds of millions of dollars. In Mexico they made a fake level of employment so that the Mexican workers would not get a high wage but rather get a small amount of pay for all the hard work they do. Coca-Cola also deplete and pollute water resources in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other countries, which leaves them with no drinking water. They also discriminate against race in the United States. Coca-Cola is monopolistic and practice fraudulent business practices. They also benefit from hazardous in El Salvador and avoid tax in Mexico, the Philippines and the United States. I would like to stop the company from gaining even more money, because it is an example of the 99% and the 1%.
