Although Taco Bell refuses to acknowledge the hunger strikers outside their headquarters, they are obviously feeling the heat because they have recently changed their phone number. The new phone number for Jonathan Blum (pronounced "bloom"), senior vice-president of public affairs at Yum!, is: (502) 874-8825. The phone number for Laurie Gannon, public relations for Taco Bell is: (949) 863-4500. Laurie Gannon is conveniently on vacation right now, so when you call, ask to speak with Monica Hawkes.
Original message: The Coalition of Immokalee Workers has entered the 8th day of the hunger strike on the sidewalk in front of Taco Bell corporate headquarters.
- Thirty-two workers and allies have decided to continue the hunger strike without setting an end date. - Taco Bell still refuses to speak with the workers or even acknowledge the hunger strike. - At 8 am the permits to be outside of Taco Bell headquarters will be revoked, leaving the strikers in a vulnerable position.
So now more than ever, we need your actions. We're having a national call-in on Monday (8am-5pm EST) to Jonathan D. Blum, Sr. Vice President, Public Affairs, Yum!
The call-ins are to demand that Taco Bell acknowledge the workers and allies who are on their 8th day of hunger strike, and engage in serious dialogue.
