Wal-Mart workers on Capitol Hill tomorrow

I'm Aubretia Edick, and I recently sent you a video I made about my experiences working at Wal-Mart. The video has already made life at Wal-Mart better for me, and it makes me smile knowing that supporters like you helped make it happen.

In response to my video, dozens of people like you sent photos showing your support for Wal-Mart workers. You've proven that we're not just speaking out for ourselves -- we're representing everyday people all across the country.

Tomorrow, April 30th, nearly 100 Wal-Mart workers like me are speaking out again. They'll be in Washington, D.C., to meet with their elected officials -- and they need your help.



Make their message even stronger by writing to your senators, urging them to listen to my coworkers' stories and support the Employee Free Choice Act. Click here to speak out:

It touched me and my coworkers to see so many of you send in signs that read "I Support CHANGE for Wal-Mart Workers."

From all of us, I want to thank you for supporting us.

But today we need you to stand with us again. Our elected officials need to know that it's time for things to CHANGE for Wal-Mart workers. We need them to hear what life is really like for Wal-Mart workers like us, so that they realize how important it is to pass the Employee Free Choice Act now.

I've been so impressed with how determined my coworkers are to pass the Employee Free Choice Act and get real change at Wal-Mart. With you supporting us, we can really make it happen.

Click here to see a slideshow of all the CHANGE photos and to contact your senators:

Thank you for continuing to support Wal-Mart workers -- it means so much to us to know that you are here for us.

Sincerely,

Aubretia Edick
Wal-Mart Associate
