This coming Tuesday, May 6, is the annual shareholders meeting for Reynolds Tobacco in Winston-Salem N.C.  FLOC will be present asking the corporation to do right by the field laborers who produce their product.

About 25,000 tobacco field workers in North Carolina suffer unimaginable conditions, but have no voice in the system that results in Reynolds Tobacco making some $2 billion dollars a year in profits.

FLOC asks that these tobacco workers be an equal part of the tobacco procurement system, a structure that has made dramatic difference to FLOC farmworkers elsewhere in N.C. and in the Midwest.

ACTION: Make your voice heard!

Let Reynolds American and its shareholders know that they have to answer to millions of us who believe in justice, and cannot ignore marginalized farmworkers who help make them rich.

Write Reynolds American right now, and ask them to meet with FLOC:

 Susan Ivey, CEO  Reynolds American Inc.  401 North Main Street  Winston-Salem, NC 27102-28066  FAX: 336-741-0881
