Wal-Mart: Educate the Public, Reach Out

Contact your local newspaper: Encourage your local paper to cover the discussion of Wal-Mart's high costs.

Write an op-ed piece: Let the public know about Wal-Mart's anti-worker tactics and the ways that Wal-Mart profits support anti-public education activities. As an educator, raise your visibility in your community and educate the public by sharing your point of view about Wal-Mart.

Learn what's happening in your local area: Check with your NEA state affiliate to see what is happening locally around educating the public about Wal-Mart's anti-worker tactics and its founding family's anti-public education activities.

Several NEA state affiliates, including the Colorado Education Association, Delaware State Education Association and Washington Education Association, have adopted more specific recommendations in their states.
