Killer Coke exposed at GAA Aussie Rules

A large number of Ógra activists joined members of the Killer Coke Campaign to leaflet Sundays GAA compromise rules match in Croke Park that was sponsored by Coca Cola.

Thousands of leaflets were distributed to GAA fans exposing the human rights abuses of Coke in Colombia and India.

A banner was also hung on the stands inside the ground, which raised the issue to the 82,000 present in Croke park, and the many other thousands watching on T.V.

The Killer Coke issue ties in with Ógra's new A.R.I.S.E campaign because it is highlighlighting Economice Imperialism and Exploitation.

But also a motion was passed at Ógra Shinn Fein's National Congress calling for a boycott and in support of the Killer Coke campaign, and true to their word, Ógra showing they don't just talk about their politics, got active the next day, highlighting the exploitation and human rights abuses of Coca Cola.
