An anti-Coke campaign effervesces at New York University

JASON FARBMAN

On April 26, the New York University Coalition to Keep Coca-Cola Off Campus will launch its new campaign to ban all Coke’s products from the campus. The campaign seeks to highlight the Coca-Cola’s refusal to allow an independent investigation into the killing of eight members of SINALTRAINAL, the union that represents workers at Coke’s bottling plants in Colombia.

The coalition will bring the award-winning documentary The Coca-Cola Case to Tishman Auditorium for its New York premiere. The film will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the film’s directors Germán Gutiérrez and Carmen García, as well as anti-Coca-Cola activist Ray Rogers (who appears in the film), SINALTRAINAL member Camilo Romero, and representatives from the NYU student campaign.
