The Verizon protest continues

From Edward Bartlett of Save Services at Men's Issues Online:

We're now half-way through our 7 days of the Most Massive Protest our Movement has Ever Staged.

Events have been staged in Florida, New York, California, Maryland, Wisconsin, and elsewhere. So grab your Santa hat and a handful of flyers -- click here -- and head out to your local Verizon store.

Be sure to take a couple photos on your smart-phone and email them to info@saveservices.org so we can post them here.

This is the last weekend before the Christmas holidays…the weather is going to be good in most parts of the country….let's do it for our kids!


This is great and if you are able to get to a Verizon store and protest their bigoted stance against men then by all means print out a few flyers and pass them around as well. If you are Verizon customer you may want to send in a flyer when you make your payments,that'll probably get their attention too.

More on Verizon

Thanks to all of your calls, emails, and protests across the country, Verizon has taken down the Monster video. The gender-biased video portrayed men as abusive monsters, boys as potential abusive monsters, and only women and girls as victims.

Activists across the United States and Canada went to their local Verizon stores to raise awareness about the video. Read about one California protest here: click here

Unfortunately, Verizon remains a hotbed of gender-biased misinformation, such as its Pinocchio-like claim that 'domestic violence is the single greatest cause of injury to women ages 15-44': click here

We are asking on you to continue to call, email and protest at Verizon stores until this information is replaced with balanced information.


Print out copies of the new flyer: click here. Then pass it out to customers as they enter the store, and make sure you give one to the manager and other store employees.

Sincerely,

Teri

A regular reader of this blog and Verizon customer told me he was going to print out the flyer and send it in with his payment. Let's see what happens.
