Boycott Coors!-Now More than Ever! Call to Queer Conscience. Informational Packet
Los Angeles: Lyon and Lyon, Publisher, 1997. Unbound. Very Good. Item #022038
(Los Angeles, 1997). 4 sheets, 8 ½ by 11 inches, stapled at the upper left corner. Printed on singles sides only. Appears to be missing the first page. All pages photomechanically reproduced, although we are not sure if they were originally issued as such, or if these are reproduced from an original. A packet perhaps prepared as a press release, providing facts to the LGBTQ+ community regarding the Coors Brewing Company and its funding of conservative and radical right groups that work against the LGBTQ+ community. The first two leaves reproduce an article from the San Francisco Bay Times that discusses the ongoing boycott and attempts by Coors to end it. The last two leaves address those within the LGBTO+ community who are working with Coors marketing or accepting funding from Coors, outlining where Coors donates and spends its money. The leaflet cites The Gay and Lesbian Center and the Outfest/Gay and Lesbian Film Festival as two groups who took funding from Coors. The Boycott originated in the 1960s among labor organizations, and grew to include African American and Hispanic groups, as well as the LGBTQ+ community. According to some, these decades long boycotts cost Coors millions in profits, and kept the company expansion slowed. VERY GOOD condition. Minor wrinkling. Pencil note on the 4th page.
