PRESS RELEASE February 14th, 1996
Launch of McSpotlight WWW site at Corporate Global HQ
(Oakbrook IL, Friday, Feb 16)
http://www.mcspotlight.org/
The McSpotlight World Wide Web site will be launched on Friday Feb 16th in
London by the McLibel defendants and at McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook
Illinois. Supporters of the McLibel Two will access McSpotlight on a laptop
connected by mobile phone to the internet outside McDonald's global
headquarters (22nd St and Ronald McDonald Lane, Oak Brook) at 6:30 pm.
Contact Mike Durschmid for details at 312-282-8236. Photo opportunities
available.
McSpotlight is the latest and the most dynamic tool of the
movement against McDonald's and all it stands for. As one of the
new breed of Internet sites starting to make full use of the
world's most powerful and revolutionary communication system,
McSpotlight combines text, graphics, video and audio into a
readily accessible and interactive package that can be used by
campaigners, journalists, researchers, scientists, and surfers
alike - not to mention all McDonald's customers and employees who
want to know the truth.
The McLibel Trial and the issues at its heart (diet and
ill-health, destruction of the environment, animal welfare,
exploitation of children through advertising and workers through
low pay) provide the focus for the site. The McLibel Two (Helen
Steel & Dave Morris) have stood up and fought against McDonald's
attempts to bully and intimidate the company's critics into
silence. The climate of fear that McDonald's tactics have created
in the past is fast being eroded, and the Internet will be the
final nail in the coffin of McDonald's attempts to suppress
criticism. They cannot hide the truth any more!
Please note: the McLibel Support Campaign is supportive of, but independent
from, McSpotlight which is a project of the McInformation Network based in 14
countries.
