Saying no to McDonalds

Posted by: Carolyn ( Australia ) on January 24, 1999 at 15:25:18:

Has anyone been involved in action that resulted in McDonalds abandoning plans to open a "restaurant"? Please let me know what you did and how you did it! A postal address for McDonalds Australia would also be most welcome.

Why? Because in Greensborough, Victoria Australia McDonalds is planning to open it's THIRD Greensborough outlet (they already have one stand alone "restaurant" and one outlet in the shopping centre next door). They plan to put the 3rd almost next door to a primary (grammer) school. A group of us want to try to stop it, but we just don't know where to start.

Please help. Either here or by e-mail (or both).

Thanks

Please check out the local residents section of the campaigns pages.
Many communities have managed to stop or at least delay McDonald's
destructive advances (including in Australia ). The section contains advice and resources that
should help you formulate a plan of resistance.
