Dear Supporters of Social Justice:

I would like to make you aware of a unique pro-labor project Nancy Siesel, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, is currently filming. She is working on a feature documentary entitled: "The Man Corporations Love to Hate" about long-time labor activist Ray Rogers, director of Corporate Campaign, Inc. and the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke. Ray is also the man Coca-Cola loves to hate.
 

Nancy is looking for support from backers to help her produce and edit the film. Kickstarter.com is a site used mostly by artists as a vehicle to have many backers contribute (from $10 & up) for which they will receive a variety of rewards detailed on the site.

Nancy has put together a short trailer highlighting some of Ray's campaigns challenging the abuses of corporate power on behalf of workers. Highlights include: scenes from the epic Local P-9 strike against Hormel in Austin, Minnesota; Ray mobilizing students to support the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, and, while standing up for migrant farmworkers, being roughed up by undercover Winston-Salem police as they forcibly remove him from a Reynolds tobacco shareholders meeting.

With your help, this feature documentary on the man who pioneered the successful corporate campaign against the notoriously anti-union J.P. Stevens & Co. on which the film "Norma Rae" was based, will become a reality.
