Change.org
carole --
This is us just a few hours ago at McDonald's HQ in Chicago delivering your 97,000 signatures on our change.org petition. 
In front of a huge media pack including NBC, ABC, Fox News, CBS and others, they refused to shake our hand or even touch the petition -- instead McDonald's representatives told media they are suing our community for our 'own protection' and support local communities. 
No joke. Now we're even hearing that PR executives are starting to background journalists in an attempt to justify their plans -- that somehow targeting kids with their junk food by building next to a primary school is fine because there are other local businesses nearby...
They're taking the fight to us now -- a clear sign our campaign is working. So while our delegation here in Chicago continues to contact McDonald's shareholders, investors and do a heap of media interviews, can you help us to pressure McDonald's on every front by contacting their HQ in Australia too? 
Leave a quick message with their HQ in Sydney by calling them on 02 9875 6666 -- it can be as simple as ringing and saying "Hello. I'm calling to ask you to stop targeting kids with your junk food by building the store in Tecoma. Thank you."
Be sure to also watch and share our Sunrise interview from this morning just posted here: http://on.fb.me/18c8lTD 
Thanks for being with us in this fight,
Garry.
P.S. Drop us a note on admin@burgeroff.org or on our Facebook page to let us know how the call went!
