End the abuse. Reynolds, meet with FLOC.

Join us in Winston Salem on May 3 as we rally and march for justice for tobacco farmworkers!
For over 4 years FLOC has asked Reynolds American to meet with the farmworkers who harvest their tobacco to discuss how to put an end to the human rights abuses occurring in NC tobacco fields. While Reynolds continues business as usual, farmworkers continue suffer from dangerous and inhumane working and living conditions.

Reynolds is also a corporate sponsor of ALEC, and Reynolds exec David Powers sits on ALECs corporate board.

Reynolds made nearly 1.5 billion dollars last year in profits while most farmworkers live in poverty. Last year, Reynolds CEO Daniel Delen made 8.5 million dollars. At the same time the company was raking in billions, it also slashed thousands of jobs from its processing plants in Winston Salem, leaving thousands of hard working families without a paycheck.

Tell Reynolds its time to take responsibility for it's actions and it's supply chain. We will not stand
by as Reynolds turns a blind eye to human rights abuses, puts profit over people, and supports anti-worker, anti-immigrant corporations like ALEC. Our presence at Reynolds Shareholders Meeting is crucial. Its our time to go face to face with Reynolds executives and tell them we demand justice.
