DEMONSTRATION
OUTSIDE The youth
rose at the crack of dawn so that they could be in position when
the shareholders started arriving. They staked out the corner
between the two entrances to Kraft's headquarters, where the meeting
was held, and erected a large,
inflatable cigarette pack labeled "Global Killer." They carried
many of the same visuals from the day before, including a slightly
shortened human billboard that read "ALTRIA SPLIT = The participants
in the chant workshop led everyone in a series of spirited chants
that had everyone not only shouting, but kicking their legs and
shaking their fists in synchronized cheerleader fashion! A few
shareholders "flipped them the bird," but the reaction
from most cars passing by was very positive. Photos: 1,
